Comprising 100% human grade whole wild sardines, this single ingredient product functions as nature ultimate anti inflammatory powerhouse. Sourced from trusted partners in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and processed under rigid quality standards, these small forage fish measure approximately 16 to 23 cm in length. Thanks to the IQF Individually Quick Frozen freezing method, each sardine is frozen rapidly and separately on site. This locks in raw freshness, rich natural oils, and delicate vitamins without the need for artificial processing, making it an incredibly convenient choice for effortless portion control and small meal prepping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrating whole oily fish into a canine diet delivers focused evolutionary and anatomical benefits. Sardines are widely celebrated as an outstanding source of easily digestible marine protein that works naturally to support a broad range of biological functions. Because they sit low on the marine food chain, these clean forage fish accumulate significantly fewer heavy metals than larger predatory species while delivering dense concentrations of long chain Omega 3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA. These pristine oils work harmoniously to nourish the skin barrier, alleviate joint stiffness, reduce systemic inflammation, and promote a radiant coat. They are also an exceptional natural source of bioavailable vitamin D, vitamin B12, calcium, and selenium, which play critical roles in regulating immune resilience, encouraging healthy cardiovascular performance, and maintaining long term skeletal vitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a signature selection in the Kiezebrink raw ingredient range, this product contains 100% pure whole sardines including all natural internal organs and soft bones, with 0% plant fillers, grains, or artificial additives. This gives health conscious pet owners and dedicated DIY raw feeders ultimate customisation control over the bowl. It serves as an incredibly clean honest addition, allowing you to seamlessly introduce high quality marine variety to your calculated BARF or prey model raw configuration while maintaining complete structural flexibility over the rest of your dog daily meat and bone ratios.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable For \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Working dogs and domestic dogs.

Whole fish should typically be calculated into their overall weekly muscle and bone allowance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePuppy Feeding: Can be safely introduced to raw experienced growing puppies as a manageable soft bone and protein component of their daily calculated raw intake based on age and target weight development. Always supervise closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementary DIY Strategy: Whole sardines contain their own natural bones and organs, but they are a complementary addition designed to supplement a raw food framework, not a standalone diet. To maintain a perfectly balanced routine over time, it is highly recommended to feed this oily fish mix as a targeted nutritional boost no more than once or twice a week alongside a broader rotation of alternative land and poultry proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiaminase Consideration: Wild sardines are thiaminase negative fish, meaning they do not contain the enzyme that breaks down vitamin B1. However, to maintain perfect nutritional harmony, it is still best utilized as a supplementary weekly variety booster rather than the primary daily protein base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomising the Bowl: These whole fish are designed to be served exactly as they are. They can be placed directly into the bowl alongside your choice of ground raw minces, alternative land proteins, leafy greens, or raw eggs. Never cook or microwave this product, as cooked fish bones can harden and splinter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThawing Instructions: Take out the exact number of sardines required and defrost them completely in a sealed container inside the refrigerator overnight before serving. Do not use a microwave or warm water to thaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage Advice: Keep frozen until ready to use. Once defrosted, keep refrigerated and use within 2 days. Do not refreeze the product once it has thawed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe Handling: Follow strict hygiene rules when preparing raw pet food. Always wash your hands, bowls, utensils, and all work surfaces thoroughly with warm soapy water after handling raw fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh Water: Ensure your pet always has access to plenty of clean fresh drinking water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60534418669902,"sku":"KBSAIQF\/10","price":45.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/Sardines_93d4478c-2233-4291-bd0d-9b2677860561.jpg?v=1787740137","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/kiezebrink-raw-dog-food-sardines-iqf-10kg","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
