Feeding & Storage
How much fish? Aim for roughly 5–10% of the weekly diet as oily fish.
- Serve raw only (never cooked) — cooking hardens bones
- Defrost in the fridge; use within 48 hours once thawed
- Portion to suit your pet; for gulpers, feed partially frozen or cut to size
Safety: Always supervise. Choose pieces appropriate to how your pet eats. Remove any sharp fragments. If in doubt, hand-hold larger pieces or use smaller sections or opt for smaller fish like sprats.

FAQs
Is this complete or complementary?
Complementary. Use as part of a balanced week with 80:10:10 or complete meals.
Does it contain bones?
Yes — soft, edible fish bones when raw. Do not cook.
How often should I feed oily fish?
About one days worth of your pets feed split across 2–4 servings to keep stools consistent. For example if you feed 500g per day, you can feed 500g per week split across meals.
Can cats and ferrets have this?
Yes. Offer appropriately sized pieces and monitor while they eat.
