Real dogs · Real treats · Real results · Come join our pack
In 2024, we tried to find quality treats for our own dog in Kalyan. We read every label. The premium brands. The vet brands. The “natural” brands.
All the same. Grain fillers up front. Chemical preservatives. Synthetic colours added purely for visual appeal — colours dogs cannot even see.
We’d been feeding our dog a popular treat for months. One day we read the label. Corn starch. BHA. Artificial colour. We put it down and never picked it up again.
We bought a food dehydrator. Sourced chicken from our local butcher in Kalyan. Dehydrated it slow and low. Put it in front of our dog. The reaction was instant. We knew.
We shared batches with other dog parents in Kalyan. Same feedback every time — dogs went wild, coats improved, digestion settled. We started taking it seriously.
Official launch with 2 products: Chicken Jerky and Buff Jerky. Humidity-resistant zip-lock packaging. Same rule as day one — one ingredient, nothing else.
Jerky, chews, organs, fish, whole prey. Every product still has one ingredient on the label. We’ve scaled the range. We have not scaled the complexity.
The name on the front is the only thing inside. No fillers. No binders. No “natural flavour.” If we add anything, we’ll rename the product.
We source only what we’d accept from our own butcher or fish market. The same quality standard you’d hold your own food to. No by-products. No mystery meat.
Made in Maharashtra, India. Indian ingredients, Indian hands, humidity-proof packaging. We live here. We know what monsoon season does to food.
Got a question about a product, your dog’s diet, or an order? You’ll hear from a real person who knows every product we make.
“If you wouldn’t eat it yourself,
your dog shouldn’t have to.”

Every step visible. No secrets. No shortcuts.
Every ingredient we use and why it’s in your dog’s bowl.
Lean muscle meat, high-protein, easy to digest. The most versatile ingredient in our range and ideal for everyday feeding and training.
A novel protein for most Indian dogs. Higher iron and zinc than chicken. Ideal for dogs with suspected chicken sensitivities and for nutritional variety.
Used in organs, trachea and ears. Goat organs are among the most nutrient-dense foods in any dog’s diet — liver, lungs and trachea all offer different benefits.
We use 9 different fish varieties. All are wild-caught from Indian waters. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA — essential for brain, coat and joint health.
Whole quail with bones, organs and meat intact. The most complete single-ingredient treat we offer — muscle, bone, organ nutrition in one natural package.
One of the best natural sources of glucosamine and chondroitin. Excellent for joint health and as a natural dental chew. The cartilage provides prolonged chewing satisfaction.
Called nature’s multivitamin. Extremely high in vitamin A, B12 and iron. Small amounts provide dramatic nutritional impact. Used as a high-value training reward.
Cartilage-based chew naturally rich in chondroitin. Provides extended chewing time for dental benefits and mental enrichment. Suitable for medium and large breeds.

Jerky and bites last 4–6 weeks at room temperature in a sealed pouch. Fish and organ treats should be refrigerated after opening and used within 2–3 weeks. All unopened products have a 6-month shelf life.

Dehydrated (low-heat dried) bones are very different from cooked bones. Cooking makes bones brittle and likely to splinter dangerously. Dehydration keeps the bone pliable and fully digestible. All our bone products are dehydrated, not cooked.
Because every treat is single-ingredient, you know exactly what your dog is eating. For chicken-sensitive dogs, try Buff Jerky, Sardines, Mackerel, Bombay Duck or Goat products — none of these contain chicken. Use the Treat Finder Quiz on the Shop page for personalised recommendations.
All ingredients are sourced from trusted, human-grade suppliers. Our facility in Kalyan, Maharashtra follows food-grade hygiene standards. We test every batch for moisture content and microbial safety.
Some human foods are toxic to dogs and can cause serious health issues or death. Here's what to avoid:

Found in gum and candy. Causes severe hypoglycemia and liver failure.
Even small amounts cause neurological damage and heart problems.

❌ MYTH:
Sterilization makes dogs weak
✓ FACT:
Sterilized dogs are HEALTHIER, live LONGER, and have fewer health problems. They're not weak — they're stronger!
❌ MYTH:
It's cruel to sterilize animals
✓ FACT:
Sterilization is HUMANE. It prevents hundreds of puppies born to starvation & death. It's the most ethical population control.
❌ MYTH:
Surgery is dangerous; many dogs die
✓ FACT:
Modern sterilization is SAFE with >99% survival rate. More dogs die from untreated disease than from surgery.
❌ MYTH:
Free surgery means poor quality

Stiff body • Raised hackles • Intense stare • Bared teeth • Growling • Ears back/forward aggressively
Relaxed body • Soft eyes • Wagging tail • Play bow • Slow approach • Relaxed mouth
⚠️ CRITICAL:
Rabies is 100% fatal once symptoms appear. Vaccination is 100% effective if started before symptoms.
Week 1-2:
Dog watches from distance, may not eat if you're present
Week 3-4:
Dog eats while you're nearby but keeps distance
Week 5-8:
Dog allows you closer, may approach for food
Week 8-12:
Dog shows comfort (tail wagging, approaching voluntarily)
Week 12+:
Dog bonded, allows petting, reliable relationship. Some take months/years — be patient!
Remove uneaten food after 20-30 minutes. Old food attracts pests and spreads disease. Keep area hygienic — reduces complaints and disease transmission.
Feed away from apartment entrances. Don't create obstacles for residents. Choose peripheral locations where dogs can eat safely and people can pass freely.
Be mindful of neighborhood concerns. Feed at less visible times. Communicate about your work. Build support, not conflict.
Feed at EXACT same time daily. Dogs remember and expect. Consistency creates routine and helps track health patterns.
Properly dispose packaging and uneaten food. Don't leave waste in communal areas. Prevents pest attraction and disease spread.
Give 1-2 cups per medium dog. Adjust based on body condition. Fresh water always available. More is not better.

✨ KEY PRINCIPLE:
These laws exist because animals cannot speak for themselves. YOU are their voice. If you see cruelty, reporting it is not just legal - it's a moral duty. Every animal's pain matters under these laws.
Guidelines for peaceful coexistence. Built on compassion, responsibility, and legal compliance.
Community animals have the right to live in territories. Cannot be moved or poisoned except for sterilization/medical treatment.
Only at approved spots. Fixed feeding times. Avoid blocking entrances, staircases, or play areas.
Feeders maintain cleanliness. Remove leftover food. Proper waste disposal. Use hygienic containers.
Identify feeding zones. No harassment of caregivers. Coordinate sterilization & vaccination drives.
All animals should be sterilized under ABC program and vaccinated against rabies.
Any act of cruelty, poisoning, confinement is strictly prohibited and punishable under law.
Don't provoke animals. Avoid sudden movements. Report injured animals immediately.
Via managing committee → municipal authorities. No individual unlawful action allowed.
Provide water bowls. Doesn't obstruct pathways. Shade during hot seasons.
Societies cannot ban feeding community animals. Such actions violate legal provisions.
