The picky-eater fix
When kibble gets boring —
bombil gets answered.
Bombay duck — bombil — feeds on prawn, anchovy, plankton. 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. Lean, lower-fat than sardines, packed with omega-3.

// Ingredient. Bombil. Sun and air.
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.

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.

“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.”

“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.
30 min
Salmonella doubling at 30°C
Half-hour and the count doubles. Dehydration takes the moisture bacteria need to multiply away entirely.
<8%
Our moisture endpoint
Below this threshold, no microbe can grow. Slow heat takes us under, every batch.
5000 yr
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.
