Petworking at Global Pet 2025: Himalayan Pet Supply

Join Peter Kenseth from Petworking as he chats with Nate Kredich, President of Himalayan Pet Supply, at Global Pet Expo 2025. Learn how Himalayan Pet Supply created the original yak chew nearly two decades ago, providing economic opportunities for Nepalese farmers who faced the challenge of limited infrastructure for milk distribution. Rather than letting this valuable resource go to waste, Himalayan's founder developed a process to transform yak and cow milk into long-lasting dog chews - creating an entirely new market for these rural farmers.In this interview, Nate reveals:- The fascinating origin story behind their iconic yak cheese chews- How they've built a zero-waste manufacturing process that converts production waste into new products- Their latest innovations in probiotic-infused yogurt sticks targeting gut health and the microbiome- Plans for upcoming product launches in the functional treats categoryIn a $3.4 billion industry dominated by rawhide and other animal byproducts, Himalayan continues to stand out by creating nutritious, sustainable alternatives that deliver genuine value to pets, pet parents, and the farming communities that supply their raw materials.
