How We Manufacture Healthy Dog Chews
Milk is sourced at high altitudes
Yaks and cows in the Himalayan region graze at altitudes of greater than 15,000 feet, munching on herbs and medicinal plants found abundantly in the region. They drink pure Himalayan water which adds medicinal value to the milk. Local farmers collect the fresh milk and it marks the first stage of producing Lekali Dog Chews.
The milk is boiled
Heating milk at 90-degree Celsius temperature kills microbes and harmful bacteria. Then, the fat is separated and removed from the milk through the Centrifugation Process. The remaining skimmed milk is used to prepare tasty Lekali Dog Chew treats for dogs.
Forming cheese
To make the fresh cheese, the separated milk is heated by adding a small quantity of lime juice and Himalayan salt. Through the coagulation process, semi-solid cheese is formed at the end of this stage.
Removing Moisture
The coagulated cheese is then packed into rectangular blocks, in a jute cloth, and is compressed with high force to extract and remove excess water. This allows the chew to be hardened in the process.
Smoke drying to form Lekali Dog Chew
The dehydrated blocks are cut to produce long bars of hard Lekali Dog Chew and are smoke dried for 28 days. This step is a way of putting a natural preservative layer on the Lekali Dog Chew.
Sorting and Quality Test
Lekali Dog Chews are brought to our processing units for inspection from 30+ micro dairies. Only the chews that match international standards are selected for further processing and packaging, to deliver the final product from the Himalayas for your dog to enjoy.
