This homemade fish meal is a quick and nutrient-rich solution for your dog. Tuna and sardines provide lean protein and valuable omega-3 fatty acids, eggs ensure essential amino acids, and fresh vegetables add fiber and hydration. It’s a perfect recipe to serve as a meal or spread on a lick mat, keeping in mind that fish should make up no more than 15 percent of your dog's weekly meals.
