Hard chhurpi is usually consumed by keeping it in the mouth to moisten it, letting parts of it become soft, and then chewing it like a gum. In this manner, one block of chhurpi can last up to two hours. Its high protein content and tanginess have made the cheese a popular treat for dogs in western nations. One unique use of chhurpi is as a tasty snack for dogs. Because of the nice combination of sweet and sour, most canines like it. While most cheese is associated with high-fat content, chhurpi is rich in protein instead. Thus, you can delight your dog with chhurpi without worrying about obesity. Since chhurpi is used as gum by many Nepalese, it can be a good dental chew for your dog. When well dried, this cheese takes a hard form. But on wetting it with saliva in the mouth, it becomes softer and chewy.
