Dogsee Chew history
Dogsee Chew began in 2015 and has seen growth in a span of 18 months. Dogsee Chew was founded by pet food entrepreneur Bhupendra Khanal, who left his analytics company Simplify360 to start Dogsee Chew.
Having discovered churpi (an ancient Nepali human food made from yak milk) may be healthy for dogs while on a trek in Nepal, the pet food entrepreneur founded Dogsee Chew a couple of months later.
“The future of Dogsee looks extremely promising,” said Khanal. “We are already present in 5 countries, but we’re planning on expanding to many more, and also add more products to our portfolio this year. The mission of healthy food for dogs is going to go global,” comments Bhupendra, CEO Dogsee Chew.
