Recommended sizes for dogs:

Present your dog with a Himalayan Chew. Let them smell it and take it on their own. You will soon see them beginning to enjoy it and work their way through the all-natural organic dog chew.
Always supervise your dog when feeding chews and be cautious to remove it should any potential hazard present itself.
Wondering what to do with the small leftovers?
You can microwave the end pieces on high power for about 45 seconds, and continue to add 10 seconds as needed. Allow the “Puff” (looks like a honeycomb) to cool entirely for at least 2 minutes before feeding it to your dog.
Storage guidelines:
All chews should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
An annual global health campaign
in October to raise breast cancer awareness
and funds for research.
Since 2013, they've invested over AED
10 million in breast cancer care, supporting
122 women & funding 9 research studies.
Al Jalila Foundation, a global healthcare philanthropic organisation dedicated to transforming lives, was founded by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ruler of Dubai in April 2013, to position Dubai and the UAE at the forefront of medical innovation.
Al Jalila Foundation supports medical treatment for individuals unable to afford quality healthcare, provides scholarships to nurture a home-grown generation of medical professionals, and supports ground-breaking research that addresses health challenges prevalent in the region: cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity and mental health.
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Al Jalila Foundation expanded its research portfolio to address the coronavirus and other emerging diseases affecting mankind.
In August 2020, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed inaugurated the Mohammed Bin Rashid Medical Research Institute, an AED 300 million multi-disciplinary research centre established by the Al Jalila Foundation to be a beacon of hope for the UAE and the Arab region.
Al Jalila Foundation is named after Her Highness Sheikha Al Jalila Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the daughter of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Al Jalila Foundation is one of 33 member organisations under the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives which embodies the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to improve the Arab world through humanitarian, developmental and community work.
According to UAE health guidelines, all women over 20 should be ‘breast aware’ while women aged 30 to 40 should get a clinical breast exam (by a doctor) done every three years.
Women aged over 40 should do a clinical breast exam every year.
What does it mean to be 'breast aware'?
According to Dr Shikha Saxena (an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist practising in Dubai), 25% of all women with cancer in the UAE have breast cancer. "Given these figures, it is sad that there is still stigma over being aware of your own breasts and body", she said.
Being breast-aware is all about gauging what is normal for you - as an individual woman.
"Women's breasts keep changing throughout the month and throughout their life. What is normal for one will not be normal for another person. The only way to know when something doesn't seem right is to understand what is normal for you personally and to then monitor your breasts regularly." Dr Shikha said.
As per an article on breast cancer from Gulf News, it is best to check your breasts after your menstrual period as the hormonal changes during or right before menstruation can affect your results month to month. Breasts are also painful for many women during the time, which could make it harder to understand if something is wrong.
Before and during your shower is the best and most convenient time to do a self-examination.
Citing references from an article from Gulf News based on an interview with Dr Shikha Saxena, an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist practising in Dubai…
The self-exam should include three areas of your body:
What are you looking for?
In all these areas you are looking for:
Any pain that is not related to menstruation or other cyclical pains
Quoting from an article on Breast Cancer Awareness from Gulf News, the steps to check for breast lumps are as follows.
Stand straight with your hands loose by your side, and look at your breasts and collarbone area. Look for any visible swelling in either area or skin texture differences on the breasts.
Place your hands on your hips and bend forward. Watch the way your skin looks and the way your breasts move to check for anomalies.
Place your palms on the back of your head and straighten up. Look at the armpits, and to the sides and under the breasts for any swelling, skin texture differences, rashes or shape variations.
After this, lift only your left arm up. You can place the palm on your head or hold it straight up.
Place your right hand on your left breast and use the pads of your fingers to start the exam from the centre of the breast.
Move your fingers firmly, lightly pressing with the pads of the fingers, in concentric circles outward, feeling for lumps or swelling in the entire breast tissue. Also, note any uncharacteristic pain.
Do the same in the left armpit and the left collarbone area.
Let your left arm down and repeat the entire process with your right arm up, using your left hand to check your right breast, armpit and collarbone area.
The best way to do this is during a shower. You can repeat this lying down on your back when the breast tissue lies close to the bone.
In an interview with Gulf News, Dr Shikha Saxena, an obstetrics and gynaecology specialist practising in Dubai, states:
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world but it also has one of the highest survival rates.
Being aware of your body can help eliminate or manage breast cancer risk.
You do not need to worry even if you find a lump or something abnormal. It could be anything from harmless fibroids to scar tissue.
The most important thing is to know before it's too late.
In the mountains surrounding Mt. Everest at more than 15,000 feet, these organic chews for dogs are handmade using traditional methods with yak and cow milk, and all-natural ingredients without the use of any preservatives or binding agents.
Also, all our Himalayan Chews are completely grain-free!
As of now, Furchild sustainably sources our hard cheese chews from rural community co-ops in the Himalayas, which adopt traditional farming methods and use an ancient recipe passed down from generations.
Himalayan Dog Chews are smoked using all-natural processes in Nepal. Due to this process, some chews are closer to the smoker and some further away.
The chews that are closer to the smoker are going to be darker in colour and have a smokier aroma to them. These chews also tend to be a bit harder and last a little longer.
The chews that are furthest away from the smoker are lighter in colour and have a cheesier aroma to them.
The fat content in Himalayan Dog Chews is less than 1%. Our dog chews are healthy, low-fat options for dogs.
Although sodium in large quantities can be harmful to dogs, the natural Himalayan salt content in the Himalayan Dog Chew is less than 0.02%, which is considered a negligible amount.
Moreover, salt is used with lime juice as a coagulant in the production of Himalayan cheese.
Fairtrade is a social movement whose stated goal is to help producers in developing countries achieve better trading conditions and promote sustainability. Members of the movement advocate the payment of higher prices to exporters, as well as improved social and environmental standards.
The movement seeks to promote greater equity in international trading partnerships through dialogue, transparency, and respect. It promotes sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to marginalised producers and workers in developing countries and securing their rights.
Fairtrade is grounded in three core beliefs.
Another component of Fairtrade is the social premium that buyers of Fairtrade goods pay to the producers or producer groups of such goods. An important factor of the Fairtrade social premium is that the producers or producer groups decide where and how it is spent. These premiums usually go towards socioeconomic development, wherever the producers or producer groups see fit. Within producer groups, the decisions about how the social premium will be spent are handled democratically, with transparency and participation.
One common way to spend the social premium of Fairtrade is to privately invest in public goods where infrastructure and the government are lacking. These public goods include environmental initiatives, public schools, and water projects.
At some point, all producer groups re-invest their social premium back into their farms and businesses. They buy capital, like trucks and machinery, and education for their members, like organic farming education. 38% of producer groups spend the social premium, in its entirety, on themselves. But the rest invest in public goods, like paying for teachers’ salaries, providing a community health care clinic, and improving infrastructure, such as bringing in electricity and bettering roads.
