Our Freeze-Dried Smelt are sourced from California rivers and processed in a USDA-approved facility where every batch is carefully inspected and tested for safety before reaching your pet’s bowl. Smelt are considered an invasive species, so by feeding them to your pets, you’re not only giving them a healthy, protein-rich treat but also helping to do your part in protecting our waters and ecosystems.

Each fish is preserved using the freeze-drying method, which maintains up to 97% of its original nutrients while removing moisture and odor. Unlike many raw fish products, freeze-dried smelt offer all the benefits without the strong smell.

Our smelt are served raw in their natural state and should be handled with care, just as you would with fresh fish.
