Fish for your dog? A healthy step!
Premium fish treats create excitement
Are dogs allowed to eat fish? A question we see come up regularly. Well, fish snacks for your dog can actually be super healthy! Besides an irresistible taste, they contain plenty of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, easily digestible proteins that ensure healthy skin and coat, plenty of protein and vitamins, and some fish snacks even reduce tartar and plaque in your dog's teeth. But note that not all fish is always good for dogs. In this article, we'd like to tell you a bit more about that.
Can a dog eat salmon, tuna or herring?
In principle, a dog can eat salmon, tuna and herring. These types of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, among others, which are a good addition to your dog's nutrients, but there are also a few things to consider. With salmon, for instance, it is important that the fish is well cooked and that it is not smoked or seasoned salmon. Tuna should not contain any added oil and, in the case of herring, make sure there are no sharp bones left in it. Only feed your dog these fish in moderation and as a snack, not as a meal. This is because too much fish can lead to an unbalanced diet. It is also always important to prepare the fish properly, for example to kill any parasites. A safe and healthy choice are always the Antos fish snacks especially for dogs. A wide selection of these include the products of FishD'light.
