Bonito is a fish which swims in the waters of the Western Pacific Ocean. It is a schooling fish which hails from the Tuna family. Since Bonito is a bony fish it is rarely eaten for its meat. Instead the dark, oily fish is carefully dried and shaved into very fine, intensely flavored flakes. The Japanese use these flakes to make a savory broth, while cats and dogs love the flakes just the way they are, right out of the container.

 

Cat-Man-Doo uses a patented process to gently extract the oxygen from their containers and immediately seal them tight. This “stay-fresh” technology allows Cat-Man-Doo Bonito Flakes to maintain their beautiful, 'just packaged' pinkish-tan color.
