  • Cheesies Genuine Himalayan Yak Cheese Chews

Woodies Coffee Wood Dog Chews

Owner, Jonathan Dillon notes: “Woodies coffee wood dog chews are of the highest quality coffee wood available. We do 4 unique things to make this the safest and healthiest for your dogs:

  1. We only sustainably harvest from very select coffee plantations. We harvest 22 year old coffee trees – due to their inner fiber density (hardwood yet malleable and crumbles and flakes when chewed) – and tree readiness to be replaced/replanted as their coffee bean production slows.
  2. We only naturally dry the wood when harvested, indoors, for up to a year. We never use kilns to accelerate drying as we feel this is not suitable for the purpose of chewing.
  3. We use proprietary US technology to infra-red scan the inside of every chew, multiple times, to determine its moisture content and readiness for production.
  4. Production is all by hand, as we strip the outer layers, round then ends, never use a cracked piece, and engrave our unique brand. And yes, they are caffeine free!.”

Nutties coconut fiber ball toy and MAGIC TOOTHBRUSH for Cats

Owner, Jonathan Dillon notes: “Our pet store owner and staff customers told us that the cat market was under-served, with mostly cheap manufactured toys from China. So they challenged us to come up with something new, original, all-natural, organic, fun, safe, and healthy.”

“So we went to the drawing board in our HQ in California. After a few failed prototypes, we are very pleased with the final result. Nutties for Cats is a high quality, hand-made, organic, all-natural toy for play and dental health. We released it early this year and it has become very popular across the country.”

Nutties for Cats have 3 unique elements:

  1. Inside pouch with 50:50 blend of both catnip and silvervine – for relaxation and stimulation
  2. Single weave of our coconut fiber rope to make the exterior of the ball – for scratching, cleaning and flossing teeth and gums (single weave allows the herbal potency to get through)
  3. Tail with hand carved, polished coffee wood beads – for play and attention

The toy will gradually break down over time, as designed to as an all-natural product. It is a little more expensive (MSRP $15.99) than much of the typical stuff, due to the multiple elements, natural components, and handmade aspect. But your furries are worth it!

Nutties coconut fiber ball toy and MAGIC TOOTHBRUSH for Dogs

Dillon says, “We wanted to develop an all-natural, organic ball alternative to the chemical / rubber ones. So we came up with this unique product, which is fun, tasty, safe, and healthy for the doggies.”

“We strip the fiber from the outside of brown coconuts, clean of any shell, use a machine to turn the fiber into coconut rope, and cut the rope into 5 foot lengths. We then hand weave multiple lengths of the coconut rope very tightly into the ball – both Large and Small sizes.”

“These are light, very strong and durable (no dog has ever unraveled one yet!), healthy (the fibers are, well, fiber!), safe (it erodes slowly by the fibers coming off, and the ball gradually reduces in size), dries quickly (nice, less slobber), and fun (the texture is fun for the dogs, and it massages and cleans their teeth and gums unbeknown to them (wish we could come up with a version for the kids!!), and compostable.”

Cheesies Genuine Himalayan Yak Cheese Chews

Cheesies have become very popular and known as a quality brand. They are all-protein, lactose free, fat free, gentle on the tummy, very tasty (just for the doggies though!). Dogs love them.

The owner, Jonathan Dillon, notes, “Yes, we know there are lots of Himalayan cheese chews on the market. But we challenge you to give ours a try. We make Cheesies in Nepal in the traditional manner. Cheesies often win in the doggie “Pepsi-like taste-test challenge” vs the larger brands. Our chews are super healthy, tasty, fat free, lactose free, and last longer. Our tag is made of lokta paper, a fabric-like paper that is handmade by the people of Nepal. It looks kind of fatigued, but that’s just the style, and we love supporting our local teams and their families.”

Cheesies are different in several key ways:

  1. They are made with real yak milk, blended with cow milk. Many producers no longer use yak milk due to its scarcity and cost.
  2. Cheesies are cured for longer, resulting in a rich yellow color, smoked gouda cheese-like aroma, and extra durability (and value!). More cheese, less moisture!
  3. We x-ray our chews when produced, to ensure no impurities got into the product

According to Dillon, “While Cheesies are top quality, they are also competitively priced. Also, we decided to only make 2 sizes, 3.5oz M and 6oz L. The guidance we got from multiple store owner customers was that more sizes just aren’t needed, unnecessarily take up shelf space, and in fact the smaller bite sized ones can present a choking hazard. We also decided to stick with the traditional recipe, and we don’t infuse other flavors. Cheesies are yummy enough!”

From some of our store owner customers:

Bobby Wise, owner GeorgeSF – San Francisco, Larkspur, San Ramon, Montecito, CA: “All 5 shops have seen a dramatic increase in the sales of yak chews with the new Cheesies, and we love the Woodies and Nutties!”

Jamie Vine, owner Wild and Ruff, Lake Tahoe, CA: “Woodies, Cheesies, and Nutties are not only a top-notch product to sell to dog owners, but I love the people and meaningful processes behind the brand. 100% one of my best sellers, week after week!”

Erin Morris owner Fideaux, St Helena, Mill Valley, Healdsburg CA: “Not only are they a top seller in my shops, but they are my puppy’s favorite chew, they clean her teeth and keep her busy”
