Sourced from trusted partners and processed under rigid quality standards, these small saltwater forage fish measure approximately 6 to 9 cm in length.

Sprats 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 are consumed completely whole, they provide a perfect architectural ratio of muscle tissue, exceptionally soft manageable bones, and vital internal organs. These tiny powerhouses are packed with dense concentrations of long chain Omega 3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, which 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, calcium, and selenium, which play critical roles in regulating immune resilience 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 sprats 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. The compact physical size of sprats makes them an incredibly non intimidating addition, allowing you to seamlessly introduce high quality marine variety to your calculated BARF configuration, reward toy breeds with an ancestral crunch, or use them straight from the freezer as high value training treats.\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.

Always supervise closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComplementary DIY Strategy: Whole sprats 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 these small oily fish as a targeted nutritional boost alongside a broader rotation of alternative land and poultry proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThiaminase Consideration: Wild sprats 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 small 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. They can also be fed straight from the freezer on hot days as a cooling snack. Never cook or microwave this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThawing Instructions: Take out the exact number of sprats 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":"1kg","offer_id":54555797193038,"sku":"KBSPIQF\/1","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10kg","offer_id":54555797520718,"sku":"KBSPIQF\/10","price":29.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/sprat-500x500-1.jpg?v=1763491488","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/kiezebrink-raw-dog-food-sprats-iqf","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
