Because they are small fish, carefully dried to remove most moisture they can be delicate in transport and some crumbling will occur. These sardine dog treats are a fast nutritous snack, not a long chew, and as they are sold be weight any crumbling that does occur still means you receive the full weight you purchased … just in a slightly easier to eat form ..
Sardines like our other fish treats and roo treats are organic by the nature of their environment (the open sea). The primary use for sardines is a nice clean protein for dogs (meat based and bio available) and good quality Omega 3.  Note though, even though sardines are high in Omega 3, their overall fat content is considered too high for dogs with pancreatitis or on a very low fat diet.
Our sardine dog treats are ‘firmish’ and whole (the variety sold in 2021). They are about 10 cm long . They are easy eating for ALL dogs.
The reason that you will choose our sardine dog treats over canned varieties is that high volume human grade canaries often use high heat treatment in their process, destroying many of the enzymes and nutritional value of their product.
Many experts tout the primary value of sardines as its omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA Â value) but they are also very rich in
- Vitamin B12Â (cardiovascular well-being)
- Vitamin D and Phosphorous (both strengthening the bone matrix)
Sardines are rich in protein, which provides the kind of essential amino acids that are fully bio available to dogs (carnivore digestive systems favouring meat proteins to vegetable based proteins).
Note since we began selling the most excellent sardine dog treats, they have come in thin fillet, butterfly cut, and whole versions. The video below is for a thin fillet style, but you can get the idea of the enjoyment it gives to Mr Archie.
