Feeding Guide

Feed as a treat (max 10% of daily calories). Portion control is important with an energy-dense treat like this, so use our allowance guide to remove the guesswork and check what’s appropriate for your dog. However, keep in mind this is a natural product that varies in size and fat content. Adjust portions to maintain ideal body condition.

How to Feed

Snap to it! Salmon Skins can be broken into smaller pieces to use as treats or meal toppers, or fed as crunchy strips for larger dogs. Can be softened in water for senior dogs, small breeds or dogs with dental concerns. Dogs should always have fresh water available.

As with any new food, introduce slowly. Give a small piece of Salmon Skin for three days, and if stools and behaviour are normal, increase over 4-7 days, up to your dog’s recommended allowance.

Understanding activity levels

Treat allowances are guided by a dog’s weight and their activity level. The activity levels referred to in the Hound treat allowance guide are defined as follows:

Low activity typically means one short, flat walk (20 -30 minutes) per day. The dog is mostly indoors or resting
Moderate activity typically means 30-45 minutes of total daily movement (2 x brisk walks, off-lead play or mild hills). The dog will be noticeably panting.
High activity typically means vigorous exercise for 60 minutes or more (running, agility, farm or working dogs)

For high activity dogs, use the Moderate activity serving size and increase by 25% if the dog has a sustained workload.

Storage

Freeze-drying makes Salmon Skins safe and shelf-stable at room temperature. Freeze-dried meat absorbs moisture from the air – after opening, store Salmon Skins in a sealed container or bag in a cool, dry place. Use rehydrated portions within 24 hours.
