Why it wears our name

Some dogs don’t chew, they demolish. If standard bars leave your dog looking around for the main course, the Power Slab is the Churpico answer: churpi made the traditional way, cut noticeably thicker and denser than the classic bar.

Thickness is not a gimmick here. A bigger cross-section is harder to crack chunks off, which is exactly what you want for a forceful jaw. It’s the chew we point at Labs, Shepherds, and every “nothing lasts with him” email we get. One honest caveat, in writing: the strongest chewers also put the most stress on their own teeth, so watch the first sessions closely.

Extra thick, extra dense

One of the thickest bars in the category, and a real project for a determined jaw.

Traditional-style churpi

Made the classic way: milk, lime, salt, then weeks of slow drying for the hardness.

Built for big dogs

Sized for large and XL dogs whose chews usually surrender by Tuesday.

Harder to break chunks off

The wide cross-section resists the crack-and-gulp move power chewers love.

Good questions

Straight answers about The Power Slab, the same way we’d give them over email.

All yak-chew questionsYak chew size guide
Will the Power Slab survive a true power chewer?

Longer than anything else we sell, but no edible chew is indestructible. Expect sessions across days or weeks, supervise every one, and retire the piece once it shrinks toward swallow size.

Is a harder chew safe for my dog’s teeth?

Hardness cuts both ways: it is why the chew lasts and why forceful biters can stress their teeth. Healthy adult teeth and supervised sessions are the deal. If your dog has any dental history, ask your vet first.

My dog is medium-sized but chews hard. This one?

Yes. Sizing up is exactly the right move for power chewers. A bar that is too big is safe; a bar that is too small never is.
