smelt
Small fish that migrate to fresh water to breed and lay eggs. They are eaten by many larger fish, so they have a shorter lifespan and are less risk for mercury. Some species of smelts are the few fish that fishermen are allowed to hand fish.
Why we feed?
Smelt is high in omega 3s, and they are also high in calcium and vitamin D, which is essential for bone and teeth health. They also have a lot of potassium, which is great for heart health, and phosphorous, which turns food into energy for your body.
How to feed?
Real Dog Box smelts are great because their small size makes them perfect as toppers! If your dog loves rolling on smelts, you can break it up into smaller pieces to top, or play a game with your dog, until they realize it’s a treat and not a toy!
