Guest Fiona Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I give our two a tin of sardines in oil with their dinner at least 5 times a week, no poop problems; both are big dogs and half a tin of sardines between them seem to be fine. When they were first adopted they had poor coats and dry skin, I can only comment on our own dogs but sardines appear to have given them wonderful condition and cleared up any dry skin shedding that they had.

tydyelady Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Toley loves sardines. He gets some every morning for breakfast. A tin lasts maybe 4 days.

Guest Houston1219 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 We tried sardines and created a monster! Lol he licked the bowl four times then went running around the house frantically searching And begging for more Like an addict looking for a fix. Then the fish-scented Thank you kisses that followed Made me laugh and dry heave at the same time. I have never seen such a huge grin on a dogs face before!

Guest jetska Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I give sardines, but find the next night when i give plain kibble they aren't as interested in their food! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandimom Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Every week we have Sardine Saturday; it's a big can of big sardines in tomato sauce that is shared between four pups (or five, when we were that #) and it works well for us. Occasionally during the week they will also share a small tin of sardines in oil but I don't think that it's very much fish/oil. I know that some use coconut oil (search for threads here, there are quite a few) for dry skin, etc., starting with a half-teaspoon or so per day. We did coconut oil for the gh's and afghans for probably a year and it did not help our pups. Our weather is very dry and the summer's are even drier.

Jodyjazz Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am so glad I found this forum. I am a new grey owner (Dec 2017) and have fallen in love !! I was not sure about the sardines, and see that I am not the only one with a "spoiled rotten" pooch who will turn her nose up without a variety of add-ins. I can now make Sardines fairly regular, Latte loves them. Quote Jody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 We started out with a regular sardine Saturday, but that wasn’t good enough for them, so now it’s Wednesday AND Saturday or Sunday. I’m pretty sure they would eat them everyday but I want to keep it special. I get the ones in water, but tomato sauce is ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleptogrey Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 i have to chuckle reading this and now share this with you..... as a toddler my daughter took a can of sardines, baby bell cheese and halavah to nursery school for lunch(the school supplied fruit for snacks)....yup, daily. as an adult she married a spaniard who exists on sardines for lunch, DAILY!!! i always travel with a couple of cans of sardines, if not for us then for the dogs~ it's purchasing the better brands that makes the difference. the chicken of the sea or bumble bee sardines are o.k. for the hounds, but not us!

Remolacha Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 when I was a kid I often had sardines and crackers (plain old saltines) for lunch. Your daughter’s Spanish husband reminds me of my cousin’s husband from Nicaragua who ate black beans every single day. He said he had to or he would die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobesmom Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Gotta throw this in - Jack Mack in a can. My DH drew the line there. I could only feed it outside. Sardines in the house he could (barely) tolerate, but Jack Mack - was a no go for him. But the dogs ADORED IT. And it worked wonders on the coats. Lord does it stink!

LaFlaca Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Lola had sardines this morning with her breakfast kibble. She is currently sleeping on her bed behind my recliner. Her farts are searing off my eyebrows. Quote Irene ~ Owned and Operated by Jenny (Jenny Rocks ~ 11/24/17) ~ JRo, Jenny from the Track Lola (AMF Won't Forget ~ 04/29/15 -07/22/19) - My girl.

Jack Mack no more than once per week, we just couldn't live with more. But oh, such lovely skin, and hair. The price we pay!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
