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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnimal Type: Domestic dogs, working dogs, and cats.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSafe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trusty Pets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54555766489422,"sku":"SSPR\/1KG","price":4.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/7105\/4670\/files\/SC-Sprats.jpg?v=1763381703","url":"https:\/\/trustypetsupplies.co.uk\/products\/southcliffe-raw-dog-food-sprats-1kg","provider":"Trusty Pet Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
