What are the benefits of oily fish for dogs?

Oily fish is rich in Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which support joint health, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy skin and a glossy coat. It also contains DHA for brain and eye health.

How should I defrost the Durham's 454g blocks?

Always defrost the 454g blocks in a sealed container in the fridge. This prevents cross-contamination and ensures the product stays fresh. Use within 48 hours once thawed.

Can I feed oily fish mince every day?

Oily fish is best fed as a supplement to a meat-based diet. Most raw feeders recommend that fish makes up about 10% of the total diet, which can be fed daily or over a few dedicated fish-heavy meals per week.
