When kibble gets boring —
bombil gets answered.
Bombay duck — bombil — feeds on prawn, anchovy, plankton. Lean, lower-fat than sardines, packed with omega-3. That's where it picks up its flavour density, and that's why your fussiest cat or dog will inhale it when they've turned their nose at everything else.
See it from every angle
On a table.
In a hand.
In a bowl.
Just bombay duck —
from the Arabian sea.
Bombay duck (despite the name, it's a fish — bombil) is naturally lean. It feeds on small marine organisms — prawns, anchovies, plankton — and that's where the protein density comes from. We source from the Arabian Sea, slow-dehydrate whole, pack in small batches. No oils, no preservatives, no flavouring.
What it does
What the fussiest bowl finally finishes.
Lean marine fish with the flavour density picky eaters surrender to — omega-3, lower fat, one novel protein.
Real omega-3
Lean marine fish — the fatty acids a shiny coat is literally built from.
The picky-eater fix
Stronger flavour density than sardines — the fish your fussiest cat or dog inhales.
Lean, lower-fat
Same omega story, less fat per gram — easier on weight-watcher dogs.
Single novel protein
One fish ingredient — a common safe pivot for dogs with poultry sensitivity.
How we make it
From boat to jar,
with nothing skipped.
Source
Day-of-landing from the Arabian Sea.
We work with coastal partners on the Konkan coast who land their catch in the morning and hand it off the same day. No deep-sea trawler runs, no week-long ice holds, no frozen import chain. The bombil that ends up in our dehydrator was swimming hours earlier.
Clean
Hand-cleaned in our Thane kitchen.
Gutted and rinsed by hand, then laid flat on the racks. No salt baths, no preservative dips, no flavour wash, no breading. Whole fish in, whole fish out — minus only what doesn't belong.
Slow heat
Low temperature. No shortcut.
Twelve-plus hours in a controlled-humidity dehydrator at low temperature. Slow heat preserves the protein, omega oils, and natural minerals. High-temp drying — the industry shortcut — denatures the protein and makes brittle dust. We finish each batch under 8% moisture, the threshold below which microbes can't grow.
Quality
Hand-checked. Crunch-tested.
Every piece is checked at the bench for moisture, snap, and texture. Anything soft, anything broken in the wrong way, anything that doesn't pass the smell of properly dehydrated fish gets graded out. What ships is what we'd hand-feed our own dogs.
Just bombil. Nothing added.
Same omega story, less fat per gram. Easier on weight-watcher dogs.
Small enough to crumble over kibble, whole enough to feed as a treat.
No preservatives, no flavour boosters. Sea-flavour does the work.
Real reviews from
real dog parents.
Sneha B..
“Pepper rejected three brands of kibble. Crumbled bombil over the latest one and she ate the bowl. We're now bombil-bribing for two weeks.”
Rahul D..
“Bruno's a cat in a dog suit when it comes to food. Won't touch most fish treats. Bombil is the exception. Asks for it by name (or whatever passes for it in dog).”
The raw question every pet parent asks
Why raw doesn't work
in Indian weather.
Indian pet parents who feed raw are trying to feed clean — the instinct is right. The risk isn't even the meat itself; it's the cross-contamination chain after the meal — the bowl, the lick, the sofa, your hands. Slow dehydration is the perfect fix.
The dog eats wherever the dog eats — sofa, floor, sometimes your bed. Bowl, lick, the surfaces after. That's the contamination chain raw food rides through your home.
Cooked bones splinter, so most home-cooked dog meals skip bones. Smart for safety, but it leaves a calcium, phosphorus, and cartilage gap.
Slow dehydration is the middle path that solves both. Whole-food nutrition. No live bacteria. No splinter risk. The dog gets the full joint, calcium, and protein matrix — without you mopping the sofa afterwards.
Salmonella doubling at 30°C
Half-hour and the count doubles. Dehydration takes the moisture bacteria need to multiply away entirely.
Our moisture endpoint
Below this threshold, no microbe can grow. Slow heat takes us under, every batch.
Of dehydration as preservation
Older than refrigeration. Older than pet food. The simplest fix has been the right fix all along.
Real questions, real answers
The stuff dog parents actually ask us.
Why bombay duck and not just sardines or anchovies?
Bombil is lower-fat and has a stronger flavour profile — which is the unfair advantage with picky eaters. It also rotates well as the third member of the omega trio: sardines, anchovies, bombil.
Safe for dogs with chicken allergies?
Yes — fish-based, single-ingredient, novel protein. A common safe pivot for dogs with poultry sensitivity.
Can puppies and kittens eat them?
From 5 months onwards. Introduce slowly — half a piece on day 1 — and watch for digestive intolerance before going to a full piece.
Is the smell strong?
Mild fish smell — closer to sardines than to anchovies. Most humans don't notice from across the room. Most dogs notice from the next floor.
How should I feed it?
Whole as a treat or training reward. Crumbled over meals as a topper for picky eaters. Adjust quantity to your pet's size, age and activity.
How should I store?
Cool, dry place, jar tightly sealed. Don't refrigerate — condensation softens the crunch and that's the one thing dehydrated treats can't recover from. Keep moisture out (away from the stove, sink, monsoon damp) and they're good through the best-before date on the pack.
The contact sheet
The rest of the omega rotation.
The same hand catalogues every treat. Pair the bombil with its shelf-mates from the omega-3 family.

Slightly oily texture on the inside which I wasn’t expecting. Dog loved it. I just put a paper towel down. 4 stars.
Mohit B. (verified owner) –
Cheaper than imported pig ears, made locally, indie-friendly. My two indies share-fight over them.
Janvi P. (verified owner) –
Good quality but the pieces vary in size, some are quite small. Smaller dogs handle that fine, my lab inhales the small ones in seconds.
Tisha M. (verified owner) –
Replaced pig ears (which made my cocker’s stomach upset) with these. Zero issues, same enjoyment. Hers and my problem solved.
Rahul Bhatia (verified owner) –
Finally something that lasts! My lab destroys every chew toy in 2 minutes flat. These goat ears gave him a solid 25-30 minute session. Not too hard not too soft just right. And the fur provides fiber for gut health apparently. Functional chew not just empty calories. Love this concept.
Kavitha Sundaram (verified owner) –
Was giving pig ears earlier but they’re SO greasy. My dogs face and my sofa would be covered in oil. Switched to goat ears and zero grease! Plus the fur fiber helps digestion. My dogs stools became firmer and more consistent. Better in every way compared to pig ears.
Shobha Nair (verified owner) –
Puppy chewing phase was destroying my house. Shoes chappal sofa corners cable wires nothing was safe. Started giving goat ear every evening and the destructive chewing STOPPED. He redirects all that energy to the ear instead. Saved my furniture and my sanity. Every puppy parent needs these.
Aniket B. (verified owner) –
Three dogs at home of varying sizes. The goat ears are a safe option for all of them. No fights over hard bones either.
Nitin Mehta (verified owner) –
My anxious indie gets stressed during storms and loud traffic noise. Goat ear chewing session calms her right down. Something about repetitive chewing releases happy hormones. She goes from panting and pacing to lying down peacefully crunching away. Natural anxiety management for dogs.
Priyanka Deshpande (verified owner) –
Good product dogs love it. The fur thing was scary at first but apparently its natural fibre that helps clean the gut. My dogs handled it fine no loose stools. Only 4 stars because the smell when you open the box is quite strong. Dogs love it obviously but keep it sealed properly.

Nice
Suresh Thakur (verified owner) –
Better than any dental chew stick from the market. Those Dentastix type things are full of wheat and chemicals. This is single ingredient real goat ear. My dog actually WANTS to chew it unlike those commercial sticks he ignores. Teeth look cleaner gums look healthier. Nature > chemicals always.
Avinash K. (verified owner) –
Single ingredient, no nasties. Ria my golden loves them. We give one mid-day on weekends as her keep-busy chew. 25 mins of peace.
Tanvi Sharma (verified owner) –
Replaced those chemical loaded dental sticks with these goat ears. Actual single ingredient chew that cleans teeth naturally. My dog chews these willingly unlike those dentastix he used to ignore. Natural always beats manufactured.
Manish Tiwari (verified owner) –
Added goat ears to our treat rotation along with chicken feet and sardines. Different textures different nutrition different chew times. Dogs get variety and complete nutrition. The Doggos product range makes rotation feeding so easy. Everything is single ingredient no nonsense.
Ritika S. (verified owner) –
My senior beagle has lost a few teeth. Goat ears are soft enough that he can still enjoy a chew. Found my go-to for him.
Sara D. (verified owner) –
My pomeranian can finish one in 15-20 mins of focused chewing. Right size for small breeds.
Pavan R. (verified owner) –
Vet had said avoid hard chews after a tooth fracture last year. These are soft enough. Crisis solved.
Madhuri T. (verified owner) –
Floppy soft texture is perfect for my puppy who’s teething. He gnaws and loves it. No worry of broken teeth.
