OUR HISTORY
Co-founders Nishes Shrestha and Suman Shrestha discovered this healthy dog snack when they met for dinner in 2003. Suman spotted Nishes' dog chewing on Himalayan hard cheese. Out of curiosity, the founders tried the cheese on their friends and families dogs. The positive response encouraged them to do extensive research on cheese for canines, which they engaged in for four years. On September 2, 2007, Himalayan's first product - Himalayan Dog Chew - was sold at a dog show fair in Bellingham, Washington. After producing Himalayan Dog Chews in Nishes' kitchen for three months, the operation moved to Seattle under Sujan Shrestha's leadership
in January 2008. We now distribute our products to over 5,000 retailers.
OUR FARMERS
We have created a consortium of roughly 3,000 farmers in the Himalayas, mostly in Nepal. These farmers are trained, given five to six months' lead time, and are paid promptly to produce Himalayan Dog Chews. Each farmer milks about two to five cows and yaks every day using traditional methods, without any modern devices. The cattle graze in natural pastures, where present, and are fed all natural leaves from the forest. Farmers collects roughly six gallons of milk to make two pounds
of Himalayan Dog Chews. On average, each farmer collects about 20 gallons of milk.
