Sardines might be small — but their benefits are mighty! 
These little fish are packed with omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals that support everything from shiny coats and joint health to brain power and even fewer ear flare-ups.
Here’s why we love adding sardines to our pets’ bowls: 
Softer coats & calmer skin 
Brain and heart support 
Fewer ear infections & allergy flare-ups 
Natural help for seizures & inflammation 
Safe calcium boost with soft, chewable bones
Add them 2–3× a week as a topper (plain, water-packed, wild-caught only!) — and watch your pets Nourish • Prevent • Thrive naturally. 
Stop by Self Serve Pet Spa or ask us online which sardines we recommend for your pet’s size and diet.
