I read on one site before about giving your dog sardines. But they didn’t explain why so…

I have 2 dogs, one is a Lab/Aussie (Chewie) who is turning 19 months old and the other is a very hyper 9 month old Boxer mix (Callie). They are great sisters.

I am giving Chewie pollack oil every morning during the week (5 days) the recommended amount. She is 55 lbs. Callie isn’t getting it yet because we just got her (2 months ago) and she is finishing up meds for an ear infection. Her stool been soft because of it. I want her healthy before I introduce her to something new. Callie is 45 lbs.

Chewie’s coat is so very shinny. We always get compliments over it. She is black with the Aussie fur. I read on the same site that you should mix up what you give them.

So I’m planning on 2 days Pollock Oil and 2 days Camelina Oil. I was wondering about adding sardines to day 5 or maybe a treat.

We feed them Kirkland’s and are doing great on it. They love it and the cost works for us. We also spoil them by making their own jerk, chicken and beef placed on a dehydrator. Haven’t tried anything else yet. I’ll also get different bags, beef and sweet potato then the salmon one next time. For some change.

Also Chewie as a puppy, 12 weeks old, broker her knee cap. They didn’t do surgery because the first vet said it wasn’t broken so we didn’t find out it really was until a week later. We did as vet said and now she is all healed. You can’t even tell she did something.

So I guess I am trying to find out why feed them sardines and even if I should.

Thanks
