The picky-eater fix

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.

// 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, remove the head, slow-dehydrate, and pack in small batches. No oils, no preservatives, no flavouring.

THE LABEL TEST

Read the back of the other bag.

A typical chew

Rendered meat meal, animal fat (preserved with BHA & BHT), vegetable glycerin, cane sugar, salt, sodium tripolyphosphate, glucose syrup, food colouring (titanium dioxide, Red 40), potassium sorbate, propylene glycol, artificial smoke flavour, mixed tocopherols, phosphoric acid, citric acid…

… and that’s the abridged version.
Ours

Bombay duck.

1 ingredient. The whole label.

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.

“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.

The packaging truth

JARvsPOUCHvsPAPER

The science, honestly.

Most treats don’t die in the dryer. They die in the package. There are three ways to put food in a bag — and only one survives an Indian courier van without ending its life in a landfill. Tap each pack. We’ll stress-test it for you.

Put it through the courier-van test ↓ tap each pack

Our jar · stamped PET 1

It just holds.

A rigid jar with an airtight foil seal — no oxygen reaches the crunch, which is how a single-ingredient food stays fresh with zero preservatives. Stamped PET 1 on the base: the most recycled plastic on earth, the same resin as your water bottle. Rigid, recyclable, real scrap value — the kind of thing a kabadiwala actually takes.

on the base.
Airtight · crush-proof · PET 1

The supermarket pouch · crush + landfill

It arrives as powder.

The usual supermarket pouch is a bag full of air — and a bag full of air gets crushed. Stack it in a courier van and the treats rattle, knock and settle to dust at the bottom. Worse, it never gets recycled, because it isn’t one material. It’s five, fused with printed ink:

Crushes · landfill

Magnified: one pouch wall

5 LAYERS
printed ink — the branding
plastic film
glue — laminating adhesive
aluminium foil
plastic seal

Nothing separates them. No recycler, no kabadiwala takes it. Landfill, every single one.

The paper bag · the green myth

It only looks greener.

Paper that holds oily food is lined with plastic — so it’s mixed material too, and just as unrecyclable. It soaks. It tears when wet. The treats go soft. The most eco-looking option on the shelf is the quiet landfill one.

If your dog won’t stop itching

Has your dog been itching — and nothing seems to help?

The scratching, the paw-licking, the hot spots, that dull coat — it’s easy to blame ‘heat’ or ‘allergies.’ Usually it’s neither. It’s the omega balance in the bowl — and you can feed your way out of it. Two questions, thirty seconds: we’ll show you roughly where your dog’s bowl lands.

Question 1 / 2

What does your dog eat most days?

Question 2 / 2

12 reviews for Dehydrated Bombay Duck

  1. Rishi T. (verified owner) –

    Some pieces are very small. Maybe a size sort would help. Otherwise totally good quality dehydrated fish, dog loves it.

  2. Nikita V. (verified owner) –

    Coastal Konkani, the bombil reminds me of summers in Ratnagiri. Funny that the dog also goes mad for it.

  3. Naina K. (verified owner) –

    Smelled strong in the kitchen for 2 days. Sealed jar fixed it. Quality of fish itself was great. 4 stars for the smell, 5 from the dog.

  4. Tejas K. (verified owner) –

    Picky beagle. The only fish treat she’ll touch. Bought 4 packs in 2 months.

  5. abhijeet –

    good

  6. Mridula P. (verified owner) –

    My vet recommended fish-based treats and I wanted something Indian-sourced. Bombil ticks every box. Coat improvement noticed in 5-6 weeks.

  7. Arav –

    My dog loved it

  8. Vivek B. (verified owner) –

    Calcutta lab who loves all fish. Bombay duck was a hit. Reordering for the second time in a month.

  9. Sahil J. (verified owner) –

    Mumbai household, we eat bombil ourselves. Tried this for our lab. He’s obsessed. Smaller pieces work perfectly as training treats.

  10. Ishita M. (verified owner) –

    Cheaper omega source than commercial salmon-flavoured treats. Made in India. Dog loves them. Three boxes ticked.

  11. Aarav S. (verified owner) –

    Crunchy. Light. No oily mess. My pug doesn’t even sniff at sardines but loved this. Different fish, different reaction.

  12. Suchita L. (verified owner) –

    Niche treat for me but absolute hit with my Mumbai friends’ dogs. Three of them tried, all reordered. Word of mouth working overtime.
