FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Kathmandu, Nepal — June 10, 2026 — YforYak, a Nepal-based Himalayan yak chew manufacturer, has announced the launch of a new collagen-rich product line formulated to meet rising consumer demand in the functional pet treat segment. The line extends the company's existing portfolio with offerings specifically developed to deliver naturally occurring collagen proteins sourced from Himalayan yak, addressing a global market increasingly focused on health-forward companion animal nutrition.
The functional pet treat category has seen sustained expansion as pet owners shift purchasing decisions toward products that serve a defined wellness purpose beyond standard nutrition. Joint support, skin and coat condition, and digestive health have emerged as primary priorities for health-conscious consumers in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific. Industry data consistently identify collagen as one of the most sought-after functional ingredients in the premium pet food and treat segment, with the broader functional pet nutrition market recording year-over-year growth.
"There is a clear demand signal from retailers and end consumers for pet chews that do more than simply keep a dog occupied," said Dhurba Raj Regmi, Founder and Managing Director of YforYak. "Our new collagen-rich line takes the natural protein density that Himalayan yak chews are already known for and builds on it with a functional wellness focus that today's pet owner is actively seeking."
YforYak's collagen-rich line is crafted from yak-derived ingredients naturally high in collagen peptides and connective tissue proteins. The formulation is intended to support joint mobility, skin and coat condition, and muscle recovery in dogs, making it a practical option for active breeds, aging dogs, and pets with nutritional sensitivities. Like all YforYak products, the new line contains no artificial preservatives, synthetic additives, gluten, or grains.
The company's existing portfolio, including Himalayan Yak Chew Bars, Puffed Yak Chew Bars, Dog Chew Nuggets, Puffed Dog Chew Nuggets, and Dog Cheese Protein Powder, has been built on a foundation of natural ingredient integrity. The collagen-rich line is positioned as a premium extension for retailers and private label partners seeking to address the functional treat segment without compromising on ingredient transparency.
YforYak offers private labeling and custom packaging services, enabling distribution partners to bring the new line to market under their own brand identity. The company manages all production, quality control, export documentation, and logistics, streamlining the process for international clients.
"Nepal's Himalayan region provides access to yak-derived ingredients that are genuinely rich in natural collagen proteins; this is an inherent characteristic of the source, not a formulation additive," Regmi noted. "That authenticity is what sets our functional line apart in a market where both retailers and consumers increasingly scrutinize ingredient claims."
YforYak's manufacturing facility holds FDA, HACCP, and GMP+ certifications. The company currently serves clients in nine countries and is recognized by the Government of Nepal as a certified manufacturer and exporter.
