Which dog treats are highest in omega 3?
Oily fish, and that is genuinely the whole list. It is not something sprinkled on afterwards, it sits in the fish itself. That is why only two things in our range are in here rather than the half a dozen we could stretch to if we were being generous with the word.
Why are the richest omega 3 treats also the fattiest?
Because omega 3 is a fat. The oil carrying it is the same oil showing up in the fat figure, so the two rise together and always will. Our sprats are 38% fat, the highest in the range, and that is not a flaw in them, it is what makes them what they are. It does mean a few at a time rather than a handful.
Can I get omega 3 without the fat?
Not from a whole oily fish, no. Cod skin is the compromise: it is still fish, it is braided so it lasts, and at 4% fat it is one of the leanest things we stock. If your dog is watching their weight, that is the one to reach for.
How often can a dog have oily fish?
For most dogs a couple of times a week is plenty, and that is about richness rather than anything else. Treats sit best at around a tenth of what your dog eats in a day, and at 38% fat the sprats fill that allowance faster than almost anything else here.
Why do you only have two things on this page?
Because only two of ours genuinely qualify. Plenty of shops tag half a range as omega rich and hope nobody checks. We would rather show you the two that are and tell you the fat figure on both than pad the page out.
Will they make my dog smell of fish?
The sprats will make your kitchen smell of fish, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Cod skin is much milder. Neither lingers on the dog for long, but if the smell is the dealbreaker, the braid is the one to pick.
