Our Story
Company
Petbit means different dried products for pets, produced by OÜ Lahekala. The main product is sprat (sprattus sprattus Balticas), but we also dry smelt (osmerus eperlanus eperlanus), white bream (abramis blicca), perch (perca fluviatilis) and other fish species in smaller quantities.
History
OÜ Lahekala was founded in May 2004. Initially, we were focusing on filleting pike-perch and perch for human consumption. Drying fish was rather a sideline at the time, but already in 2005 drying fish for pet food had become our main activity. Since then we have been improved our work practices and technologies to offer the best for our pets.
During the early years we were selling dried fish in Estonia as well as In Finland. Over the years we have grown and expanded our sales to Denmark, Germany, Austria and England.
During the 5 years, the demand for our products have grown, so we moved our production from Pärnu to a bigger plant in Audru.
