Pin Oaks – Whole Sardines 500g

Sardines are a nutrient-rich superfood for dogs, offering omega-3 fatty acids, high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals that support skin, coat, joints, heart, and overall health.
Key Nutritional Benefits
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Sardines are one of the richest natural sources of EPA and DHA, which help reduce inflammation, support brain function, nourish the skin, and maintain heart health

These fatty acids are particularly beneficial for dogs with arthritis, mobility issues, or dry, itchy skin

High-Quality Protein: Sardines provide lean, easily digestible protein that supports muscle development, tissue repair, and overall energy levels. They are a gentle alternative for dogs that may have difficulty digesting land-animal proteins

Vitamins and Minerals: Sardines are naturally rich in vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium, and coenzyme Q10, which contribute to bone health, immune function, and cardiovascular support
The soft, edible bones also provide a natural calcium boost for strong teeth and skeletal health

Low Mercury Levels: Because sardines are small, low on the food chain, and primarily eat plankton, they contain significantly lower mercury levels than larger fish like tuna or swordfish, making them a safer option for dogs

Additional Health Benefits
Joint Support: Omega-3s in sardines help reduce joint pain and stiffness, benefiting older dogs or those with arthritis

Skin and Coat Health: Regular sardine supplementation can improve coat shine and reduce dryness or flakiness

Heart and Circulatory Health: Nutrients in sardines support cardiovascular function, particularly in aging dogs

Immune System Support: Protein and micronutrients in sardines help maintain a strong immune system

Feeding Guidelines
Frequency: Feed sardines in moderation, typically once or twice a week depending on your dog’s size and diet

Serving Size: A general guideline is one small sardine per 20 pounds of body weight, up to two sardines per week
