WE CATCH. WE PROCESS. WE DEHYDRATE. WE CREATE.
FROM THE OCEAN TO THEIR BOWL
Boat to Bowl is a proudly South Australian marine nutrition brand with a story that begins on the waters of Port Lincoln.
Founded in 2020 by Nick Simpson, Boat to Bowl started with a simple idea: create genuinely nutritious, Australian-made dog treats using quality marine ingredients, without unnecessary additives or preservatives.
What began in a humble shed has grown into something much bigger.
Today, through our parent company Port Lincoln Pet Treats, we're involved in the journey from Australian seafood to finished marine nutrition products for dogs.
Unlike many pet treat brands, we don't simply purchase finished products and put our name on the packaging.
Through our associated fishing operations in Port Lincoln, we own and operate a commercial fishing vessel, catching our own Australian sardines — a key ingredient in our marine nutrition range.
We also source other quality Australian seafood, including mackerel and shark products, from trusted suppliers.
Combined with our own manufacturing facilities in Port Lincoln and Adelaide, this gives us genuine involvement in the journey from ocean to finished product.
We catch. We process. We dehydrate. We create.
Our Port Lincoln facility processes and dehydrates Australian seafood, while our Adelaide facility creates innovative marine wellness products, including our Omega-3 Soft Chews and Omega Daily Wellness Bites.
Working alongside marine food scientist Dr John Carragher, we combine practical manufacturing experience with nutritional science to develop products that support canine health and wellbeing.
From the ocean to their bowl, we're proud to be involved every step of the way.
And we're only getting started.
Meet Nick
Our founder
Boat to Bowl began in 2020 with a simple idea: to create genuinely nutritious Australian-made treats for our dogs, starting with founder Nick Simpson's own kelpie, Ralph.
With a background in commercial food manufacturing and a passion for Australian seafood, Nick has helped grow that idea into a marine nutrition brand with manufacturing operations in Port Lincoln and Adelaide.
From spending time aboard commercial fishing vessels to working alongside our production teams, Nick believes in understanding exactly where our ingredients come from and how our products are made.
It's this hands-on approach that drives Boat to Bowl today — real Australian ingredients, genuine provenance and a commitment to creating better nutrition for our dogs.
OUR MISSION
GOOD FOR YOUR DOG. GOOD FOR AUSTRALIA.
Our mission is to create genuinely nutritious marine treats and wellness products for dogs, using quality Australian ingredients and responsible manufacturing practices.
We believe dog owners deserve to know where their products come from, what goes into them and who makes them.
By sourcing Australian seafood, manufacturing our own marine ingredients and developing innovative Omega-3 wellness products, we're building a brand founded on transparency, quality and genuine provenance.
Good for your dog. Good for Australia. Good for our planet.
MEET DR JOHN CARRAGHER
The Science Behind Our Marine Nutrition
At Boat to Bowl, we're passionate about combining the natural nutritional benefits of Australian seafood with scientific expertise.
Working alongside marine food scientist Dr John Carragher, we bring specialist knowledge of marine ingredients, food science and product formulation into the development of our growing marine wellness range.
Dr John works closely with our manufacturing team to develop and refine products including our Omega-3 Soft Chews and Omega Daily Wellness Bites.
By combining science with hands-on manufacturing experience, we're creating innovative marine nutrition products designed to support the health and wellbeing of our dogs.
Australian marine ingredients. Scientific expertise. Made with purpose.
FROM THE OCEAN
It Starts in Port Lincoln
Our journey begins in the pristine waters surrounding Port Lincoln, South Australia, home to one of Australia's most important seafood industries.
We source quality Australian marine ingredients, including sardines supplied through our fishing partners aboard vessels such as PELORUS.
From there, our seafood is processed and carefully dehydrated at our Port Lincoln manufacturing facility, creating nutritious marine treats and ingredients that form the foundation of our growing wellness range.
By being involved from sourcing through to manufacturing, we know where our ingredients come from and how they're handled.
That's genuine Australian provenance — from the ocean to their bowl.
OUR MANUFACTURING
From Ocean to Finished Product
Unlike many pet treat brands, we don't simply purchase finished products and put our name on the packaging. Through our parent company, Port Lincoln Pet Treats, we're directly involved in the manufacturing process.
At our Port Lincoln facility, we process and carefully dehydrate Australian seafood to create our marine treats and nutritional ingredients.
At our Adelaide facility, we take marine nutrition a step further, manufacturing our Omega-3 Soft Chews and Omega Daily Wellness Bites using Australian marine ingredients and carefully developed formulations.
Working alongside marine food scientist Dr John Carragher, we combine hands-on manufacturing experience with nutritional science to create innovative products for dogs.
Two South Australian manufacturing facilities. One commitment to quality, transparency and genuine Australian provenance.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE CATCH
Meet the Crew Behind the Catch
Meet Marcus and Toby White, pictured aboard PELORUS, our commercial fishing vessel operating out of Port Lincoln, South Australia.
Marcus is the skipper of PELORUS, leading the fishing operations responsible for catching our own Australian sardines — a key ingredient in the Boat to Bowl marine nutrition range.
Toby is our Production Manager, overseeing the manufacturing processes that transform quality Australian marine ingredients into finished marine treats and wellness products.
Together, they bring years of hands-on experience, industry knowledge and a genuine connection to the ocean.
This is what makes Boat to Bowl different. We're not simply putting our name on someone else's products. We're actively involved in the journey from ocean to bowl.
We catch. We process. We dehydrate. We create.
