About Smelt
Smelt is a small oily fish commonly used in dog and cat foods as a palatable protein source and natural provider of omega‑3 fatty acids, often included whole, as meal, or in freeze‑dried form to enhance flavor and nutrient density. It supplies digestible amino acids, EPA/DHA for skin, coat and joint support and trace minerals, but can trigger fish allergies, pose choking or bone‑fragment risks if not properly processed, and requires attention to fat content and sourcing to minimize contaminant or pancreatitis concerns.
