These whole, oily fish are a nutrient-dense snack for dogs and cats. Packed with Omega-3s, they promote supple joints, a shiny coat, and heart health. Rich in Vitamin D and B12, Pilchards offer a natural "prey" experience that provides essential minerals in a highly palatable form.

Why Choose This Product?

Reduces inflammation to support joint mobility and brain function.
Helps to soothe itchy skin and creates a soft, shiny coat.
Provides natural calcium and phosphorus from tiny, digestible bones and organs.
Naturally rich in taurine and Vitamin D, essential for cardiac health and immunity.

Best For:

Dogs and cats of all ages, from growing puppies and kittens to seniors.
Pets with joint stiffness or mobility issues needing anti-inflammatory support.
Active pets requiring high-quality fats for sustained energy.

Choose appropriately sized bones: small enough to chew but not swallow whole. Ideal bones take 5–15 minutes to finish. Too small can pose choking risks and cause oral trauma.
Choose the right bone: Select raw meaty bones with plenty of meat or soft tissue to ensure dogs and cats can rip, tear, and chew for full benefit.
Never cook bones: Cooking makes bones brittle and prone to splintering, posing a serious danger.
Balanced diet: Raw meaty bones are not a complete diet—feed alongside minces, organs, and raw green tripe, incorporating a variety of prey sources for optimal nutrition.
Feed alongside raw green tripe: Feed tripe at ⅓ of the bone weight, adjusting as needed—every dog is unique!
Supervision required: Always monitor your pet while feeding bones to ensure safety.

Caution is advised for fast eaters and brachycephalic breeds due to the bone's hardness and size.
