Pezzy Pets turns invasive fish into nutritious, single-ingredient treats for dogs and cats. By working directly with small-scale fishermen in the U.S., Mexico, and the Caribbean, Pezzy helps transform species like devil fish, lionfish, and silver carp into healthy snacks pets can actually enjoy.

Their treats are made from wild-caught invasive fish that would not normally be part of a pet’s everyday diet, making them a thoughtful option for pets with sensitivities or pet parents looking for novel proteins. Based in Berkeley, California, Pezzy combines environmental purpose with simple, high-protein treats that support pets, fishing communities, and native ecosystems.

We like Pezzy Pets because their treats do more than sit politely in a pouch looking wholesome. Each product helps address a real environmental problem by creating value from invasive fish that threaten native waterways and fisheries.

Their treats are single or limited ingredient, high in protein, low in fat, and made without grains, fillers, chemical preservatives, or mystery “yucky stuff” — the technical scientific term, obviously.

They’re a great fit for dogs and cats who enjoy fish-based treats, pets who may benefit from novel proteins, and pet parents who want their purchasing choices to do a little more good. Healthy snacks, cleaner ingredients, and ecological impact in one bag is a pretty solid little magic trick.
