Ocean Fish Recipe Freeze-Dried Dog Topper & Treats
This is a high-protein, freeze-dried fish topper and treat made mainly from ocean fish and salmon, with vegetables and added vitamins and minerals. It’s designed to be sprinkled over your dog’s regular food or fed as individual treats, adding extra animal protein and omega-3 fatty acids for dogs who enjoy fish. The crunchy pieces are calorie-dense, so a little goes a long way, especially for smaller or less active dogs.

Strengths
- Ocean fish and salmon are the main ingredients, providing highly digestible animal protein and essential amino acids.
- The guaranteed 42% protein and 13% fat are very appropriate for a nutrient-dense topper or treat.
- Contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which can support skin, coat, and overall wellness when used with a balanced diet.
- Freeze-dried processing helps preserve nutrients and flavor with minimal added ingredients or processing aids.
Considerations
- This product is a topper or treat, not a complete diet, so it should not replace your dog’s regular balanced food.
- Fish is a common food allergen for some dogs, so it is not suitable if your dog has known fish sensitivities.
- At 4 kcal per treat and 3440 kcal/kg, it is calorie-dense, so portions should be moderated, especially for small or less active dogs.
- Includes flaxseed, which is safe for most dogs but may not be ideal for those with a history of sensitivity to seeds.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Ocean Fish
Ocean fish is commonly used in pet food as a high-quality animal protein and flavor ingredient and is valued for providing omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) plus minerals like iodine and selenium that support skin and coat, joint, heart, and cognitive health in dogs and cats. While it offers important nutritional benefits, fish can be an allergen for some pets and may carry environmental contaminants (mercury, PCBs) depending on source, so responsible sourcing, proper processing, and variety in protein choices are recommended.
02
Salmon
Salmon is commonly used as a high-quality animal protein and rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA/DHA) in dog and cat foods, supporting skin and coat condition, joint and cognitive health, and overall muscle maintenance. While very nutritious, salmon can be an allergen for some pets and raw salmon may pose risks from parasites, thiaminase-related thiamine loss, and region-specific pathogens (e.g., salmon poisoning); owners should avoid feeding uncooked bones and consider sourcing to minimize contaminant and sustainability concerns.

03
Green Bean
Green beans are a low-calorie vegetable commonly used in pet foods and treats as a source of soluble and insoluble fiber, moisture, and modest amounts of vitamins and minerals (such as vitamins A and K, folate, and potassium), helping support digestive health and weight management. They are not a primary protein source and provide limited nutrition for obligate carnivores like cats, so feed in moderation and use plain, cooked or fresh beans without added salt, seasonings, or sauces to avoid gastrointestinal upset or excess sodium.

04
Flaxseed
Flaxseed is used in pet foods as a plant-based source of alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) omega‑3, soluble and insoluble fiber, and modest protein, often added to support skin and coat condition, digestive health, and kibble texture; ground seed or flaxseed oil is more digestible than whole seed. Dogs can partially convert ALA to long‑chain EPA/DHA but cats convert ALA poorly and therefore still need marine sources for essential DHA/EPA; flax is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation if not stabilized, and contains lignans (phytoestrogens) and trace cyanogenic compounds, so it should be processed and used in moderation.

05
Carrot
Carrot is used in pet foods as a vegetable ingredient providing fiber, moisture, texture and antioxidant nutrients such as beta‑carotene (a provitamin A), vitamin K, vitamin C and potassium, contributing to palatability and digestive bulk. Cooked carrots are more digestible and release more beta‑carotene, but cats cannot efficiently convert beta‑carotene to active vitamin A so carrots are more nutritionally useful for dogs than as a primary vitamin A source for cats; they should be fed in moderation due to natural sugars and should be offered in appropriately sized pieces to avoid choking.
