This Week on the podcast we return with a great guest. He's the co-founder of a great company that takes the fear out of pet treats. This week Chris Lovell will join us on the podcast.
In 2014, our founder Chip Linton traveled to Hawaii to visit a friend who was living on the Island of Maui. While there, both Gino and Chip noticed a significant number of dogs chewing on fallen coconuts. After speaking with veterinarians on the island, they learned that the coconut husk is extremely effective in scrubbing teeth and maintaining quality dental health.
After four years of perfecting our design, we were finally ready to bring the CocoChew to you and your pup! The CocoChew team of four works diligently to provide the best toys in quality and durability. Our 100% all-natural coconut toys are made in the Philippines on farms with sustainable practices and quality working conditions. At CocoChew we believe that there should be no hard work involved in trying to find healthy products for your pets. We make it easy by providing an all-natural solution to a significant problem facing our pets and the quality of their teeth. Pick up a CocoChew today and see for yourself, just how effective they can be and always remember to brush naturally!
Very rarely does a team from a school project end up creating, and running with an industry changing idea together. Even more rarely does that project idea become the foundation to build a life-changing business around it. Well that is exactly how the CocoChew crew came to be. It began when Chip told Ryan, Chris and Ed about his trip to Hawaii, and his idea to make an all natural dog toy out of coconut husk. We were all immediately hooked on making this a reality.
To get a feel for what it would take, we took our canine concept and entered a startup competition at the University of New Hampshire. While competing in the Holloway Startup Competition, we continued our research and realized in depth, just how important dental health is to overall health in dogs. There is a major need for products made out of safe and natural materials, and there was hardly any animal health warriors to truly fulfill that need. It also didn’t hurt that we knew we’d get to work with dogs every paw print of the way.
