Kathmandu, Nepal – May 21, 2026 – Native Nepal Dog Chew, a Kathmandu-based manufacturer and exporter of Himalayan Chhurpi dog chews, has added a lactose-free product option to its existing range of yak and cow milk-based chews. The formulation is designed for dogs that experience digestive discomfort related to lactose in dairy-based pet products.
Traditional Himalayan Chhurpi cheese dog chews undergo a natural fermentation and drying process that reduces lactose content significantly compared to fresh dairy products. The lactose-free variant from Native Nepal Dog Chew takes this process further through extended processing stages and verified laboratory testing to achieve residual lactose levels below established thresholds for lactose-sensitive dogs.
Lactose intolerance in dogs is a recognized condition in which the digestive system produces insufficient amounts of lactase, the enzyme required to process lactose. While many dogs tolerate low-lactose dairy products without issue, veterinarians in some markets advise owners of sensitive animals to seek dairy-based treats with minimal lactose content. This has created buyer interest in verified low- and zero-lactose natural chew options.
"A number of our wholesale buyers have received requests from their retail customers and veterinary advisors for dairy-based chews with lower lactose profiles," said a spokesperson for Native Nepal Dog Chew. "Adding a lactose-free certified option allows those buyers to serve dog owners who want natural Himalayan chews but have been cautious about dairy content."
The lactose-free Chhurpi chews are produced through Native Nepal Dog Chew's standard Himalayan milk sourcing and traditional cheese-making process, with modifications to the fermentation and drying stages to achieve the required lactose reduction. Each batch is subject to laboratory analysis, and test documentation is included with wholesale export shipments.
The product is available in bar and nugget formats and can be supplied under private label programs with custom branding and packaging. The company offers sample packages for buyers interested in evaluating the product before placing wholesale orders.
Native Nepal Dog Chew is FDA registered, DUNS registered, and ISO certified. The company exports Himalayan dog chews to more than 20 markets and provides complete documentation support for international import compliance.
