About Pilchard
Pilchard (a small oily forage fish, often labeled as a sardine) is used in pet foods as a high-quality animal protein and a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA), B vitamins and minerals. It supports skin and coat health, joint and cognitive function and is highly palatable for dogs and cats, but owners should be aware of potential fish allergies, higher fat content, and concerns about contaminants or parasites—risks that are generally mitigated by proper sourcing and processing and by avoiding raw or heavily salted preparations.
