Churpi Chews are long-lasting, natural dog chews that are made in the Himalayas. Originally made by the people of Nepal as a snack for humans, it has been discovered by the canine community, and they cannot get enough of it.

Made from organic ingredients, Churpi Chews are derived from boiling yak or cow milk with a citric-acid additive (such as lime juice) that will separate the curds. These curds are then tightly packed into a stick form, and dried for several weeks. This makes the curds hard, creating a dog chew that lasts for a long time and tastes delicious.

The founders of the Himalayan Dog Chew discovered these treats, called Chiurpi by the native people, while they were volunteering for the Peace Corps in Nepal. The found and rescued a puppy, who was still teething. Because they did not have stores like Orion Healthy Pet right around the corner, they had to improvise with dog treats. They gave their new puppy a bit of Chiurpi, and he loved it! Because it was made from natural ingredients, they knew it would be healthy for him, and it lasted for hours.

Knowing about the need for healthier dog treats in America, they decided to start up a company, based around the ideal of bringing natural treats to dogs. They struck up a deal with the farmers who have been making Chiurpi for years, and help them make the same amount of money in one year that they would have made in five.

The Himalayan Dog Chew prides themselves in the quality treat that they provide, being sure to test it in American laboratories to ensure that it does not include harmful bacteria or bacterial growth. The end result is a treat that you can feel good about giving your dog.

As with any new toy or treat, be sure to watch your dog when first giving them a Churpi Chew. These treats should provide hours of entertainment, and if your dog is quickly going through it, it may be best to take it away for a while. Because it is made with milk products, Himalayan Churpi Chews may not be good for dogs with sensitive stomachs, such as lactose intolerance.
