Sardines are so good for your pets and they will love them. It’s rare when a treat this tasty and convenient is also packed with beneficial nutrients.
Can Dogs & Cats Have Sardines?
Yes! Sardines have many health benefits for your pet. It’s rare when a treat this tasty and convenient is also packed with beneficial nutrients.
Sardines are small but are packed with nutrition for cats and dogs. Sardines are full of omega-3 fatty acids and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). Fatty acids have many health benefits, help brain development (great for kittens and puppies) like cancer prevention, reducing inflammation, and keep the immune system strong. CoQ10 supports healthy heart, circulation, and is also excellent for preventing dental disease in both cats and dogs!
Sardine Tips For Your Pet
Do be careful feeding Sardines to dogs if they are in a sauce. Skip sardines slathered in sauce — such as oil, mustard or ketchup — and check the ingredient panel for the lowest-sodium options available. No need for any added oil salt or other ingredients. Some of those can be harmful! Do not feed sardines daily, as too much fish can form urinary crystals in cats.
Don't feed your pet too many sardines as they may develop a fishy smell. If your cat or dog starts to produce a fishy order, simply reduce the amount and frequency of feeding sardines. A spoonful of coconut oil with sardines does counteract the strong oceanic odor!
Serving Sardines To Cats & Dogs
Adding sardines to your pet's diet will add some nutrition but be aware that one small sardine contains about 25 calories and 175 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, which can be a pretty substantial treat for dogs. To cut back on the calories, cut sardines for dogs up into a few pieces. No worries about the raw bones, for dogs or cats — they’re safe and will supply some calcium and additional help benefits.
When you start giving your pets new foods (like sardines), always start slowly and with a small amount. They should not cause an upset stomach, but it’s better to be safe than have a sick pet and a mess to clean up.
Fun Facts About Sardines
Don't throw out the water the sardines are packed in! This juice makes an excellent, flavorful gravy or topper for your dog or cat's food. Sardine juice has some nutritional benefits as well. If you need to give your pet a pill, you can crush it up and mix it with the sardine juice as it is great for masking the unpalatable smell of hard-to-swallow medications.
