Southcliffe Raw Dog Food - Sprats 1kg

These whole small fish offer a powerhouse profile of essential macro and micro nutrients that support comprehensive canine wellness. Sprats are naturally teeming with high levels of essential Omega 3 fatty acids, which play an instrumental role in minimizing systemic joint inflammation, nourishing the nervous system, and transforming dry skin into a thick, gleaming coat. Because these fish are served completely intact, they provide a premium source of highly digestible protein alongside a natural, safe supply of calcium and phosphorus hidden within their soft bones, contributing directly to skeletal strength, healthy cardiovascular performance, and cleaner teeth.

With zero hidden processing aids, chemical stabilization methods, or synthetic vitamins, this clean marine product provides outstanding versatility for daily feeding management. Because they are individually quick frozen as whole fish, owners can effortlessly remove the precise number of sprats needed for the day without defrosting the entire bag. Whether served frozen solid as a crunchy summer snack or mixed directly into a daily dish, their intense, natural aroma acts as a phenomenal tool to excite selective or recovering eaters while fulfilling their biological drive for fresh prey.

Suitable For

Breed Size: All breeds and sizes; their small size makes them perfectly manageable for tiny toy dogs and small felines, yet incredibly rewarding as quick training snacks for giant breeds.

Life Stage: Formulated for adult pets and puppies or kittens from 12 weeks onwards, providing a soft, crunchy chewing experience that easily supports growing bodies.

Feeding Guide and How To Use

Daily Serving: Feed as a healthy treat, training reward, or as a nutritional fish boost alongside your pet's primary balanced raw meals. When calculating daily food ratios, simply adjust their main meal downward slightly to accommodate the added calories from these nutrient rich fish.

Serving Strategy: Serve straight from the freezer for a firm, crunchy chew that naturally slows down fast eaters and cools pets down on hot days. Alternatively, allow them to thaw slightly if your pet prefers a softer, more traditional whole fish texture.

Handling and Thawing: Store at 18°C and keep frozen until ready to use. Only remove the exact number of sprats required for the day and return the bag immediately to the freezer. If serving thawed, defrost the portions inside a sealed container in the refrigerator overnight (approximately 4 to 6 hours). Never cook, boil, or microwave raw fish.

Storage Advice: Once a portion is fully defrosted, store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator and use within 2 to 3 days to preserve optimal marine freshness. Do not refreeze the sprats once they have thawed.

Safe Handling: This is a raw fish product and should be handled with standard hygiene practices. Wash hands, bowls, training pouches, and all preparation surfaces thoroughly with warm, soapy water after serving. Always ensure a clean supply of fresh drinking water is available.
