How the Journey Began?
It began when, on a trek to Ilam, Nepal, Bhupi found stray dogs feeding on leftover Churpi. Churpi is an ancient Himalayan recipe, usually consumed by humans. Because of the Churpi that these Pahari dogs were getting from the houses, they looked extremely healthy, full of energy, and had shiny coats. This made Bhupi realise that Churpi was both nutritious and tasty, making them the perfect treats for dogs. He decided to make these cow and yak chews into gluten-free dog treats available to dogs across the globe, and thus Dogsee Chew was born.
As Dogsee Chew became popular, many pet parents sought more from nature to treat their dogs. Instantly, they thought of fruits and veggies.But how to avoid the fuss and messiness while eating them? The simple answer was to get freeze-dried dog treats! With this, Dogsee Crunch came into existence. Fresh, tasty, and crunchy treats without any additives or preservatives. And there you go, you have healthy snacks for dogs, filled with the goodness of nature that both dogs and parents will love.
