Great Source of Protein<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Dried fish is an excellent source of protein for dogs.<\/p>\n<p>And protein is arguably one of the most important nutrients in a dog\u2019s meal.<\/p>\n<p>Your dog digests and breaks down proteins into amino acids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dogs need amino acids because they are the building blocks of various proteins in their body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/drjustinshmalberg.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justin Shmalberg, DVM<\/a>, from <a href=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/nutrition\/acvn-nutrition-notesthe-protein-paradigm-assessing-dietary-protein-in-health-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Today\u2019s Veterinary Practices,<\/a> explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_pull_quote td_pull_center\"><p>Body protein is composed of 20 different amino acids, which are linked together in long chains with peptide bonds. Proteins display complex structures, which serve a number of physiologic and biochemical processes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some of the processes that Dr. Shmalberg refers to are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cell signaling<\/li>\n<li>Muscle contraction<\/li>\n<li>Oxygen and nutrient transport in the blood, plus oncotic support<\/li>\n<li>And other critical functions in the dog\u2019s body that are vital to its survival<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some of the many body components in your dog that amino acids help build are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muscles<\/li>\n<li>Skin<\/li>\n<li>Fur<\/li>\n<li>Bones<\/li>\n<li>Nails<\/li>\n<li>Connective Tissues<\/li>\n<li>Hormones<\/li>\n<li>Digestive Enzymes<\/li>\n<li>Blood Component<\/li>\n<li>Immune System<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And with dried fish meeting <strong>36% of your dog\u2019s daily protein needs,<\/strong> you may want to start feeding it to your dog now.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Itchy, inflamed skin? Swelling body parts in dogs? Dried fish might have a solution for that!<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/pubs\/usdandb\/DHA-Content.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Department of Agriculture recorded<\/a> a lot of fish species that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, these fishes are rich in Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA).<\/p>\n<p>These specific types of fatty acids are <strong>known to reduce the swelling<\/strong> of your dog.<\/p>\n<p><em>But how?<\/em>\u00a0<em>How do DHA and EPA reduce or prevent inflammation?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well, these two fatty acids limit the inflammation mediators inside the body.<\/p>\n<p>Inflammation mediators are protein-like substance inside the body that triggers inflammation.<\/p>\n<p>That means limiting these compounds would also <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28900017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reduce the swelling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Fights Free Radicals<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>When we talk about our dog\u2019s health, we often come across the terms \u201cfree radicals\u201d and \u201cantioxidants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s talk about these concepts first, and then I\u2019ll share how feeding dried fish to dogs is related to them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free radicals are unstable and highly reactive compounds inside your dog\u2019s system.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They can cause <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news-medical.net\/health\/What-is-Oxidative-Stress.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">oxidative stress<\/a> to your dog, damaging your dog\u2019s cells, tissues, or organs at the molecular level.<\/p>\n<p>This can cause chronic illnesses in your dog on a large scale.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why feeding your dog with foods rich in antioxidants\u2014like dried fish\u2014is important.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/staying-healthy\/understanding-antioxidants#:~:text=Antioxidants%20neutralize%20free%20radicals%20by,other%20cells%20in%20the%20body.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Antioxidants work<\/strong><\/a><strong> by neutralizing the instability of the free radicals in your dogs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They also<strong> repair cells that the oxidative stress damaged.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Giving your dog dried fish supplies it with antioxidants that combat the effects of free radicals.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the known antioxidants present in dried fish:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Omega 3 fatty acids<\/li>\n<li>Selenium<\/li>\n<li>Vitamin E<\/li>\n<li>Trace amounts of Vitamin C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>4. Improve Brain Function<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Did you know that feeding dried fish to dogs helps improve their brain?<\/p>\n<p>This is because dried fish is rich in a certain omega-3 fatty acid called DHA.<\/p>\n<p>DHA also plays a major role in regulating a lot of the brain\u2019s neurological function for most mammals.<\/p>\n<p>It helps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Develop neurons and brain tissues<\/li>\n<li>Reduce inflammation in the brain<\/li>\n<li>Develop neural links and structures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Well, that\u2019s nice and all,<\/em> <em>but how does that translate into my dog\u2019s well-being?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>A healthy brain means your dog will have great cognitive skills.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is important for your dog\u2019s problem-solving abilities, response to commands, reaction time skills, and memory.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, DHA slows down the brain\u2019s degeneration, lessening the risk of mental issues for your dog.<\/p>\n<p>With these evidence-backed facts, you\u2019ll rest easy knowing that you\u2019ll be doing your dog a great favor the next time your dog eats dried fish.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Improve Blood Circulation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The health benefits don\u2019t stop with just the brain.<\/p>\n<p>Eating dried fish also improves your dog\u2019s cardiovascular system!<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jci.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Journal of Clinical Investigation<\/a> presents a finding about how Omega-3 reduces the bad fats in the body.<\/p>\n<p>In one of their issues, they found that Omega-3 <strong>accumulates in the bile to reduce bad cholesterol production in the liver.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They also discovered that Omega-3 <strong>lowers the absorption of fats in the intestine.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It helps lower the bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels inside your dog\u2019s system.<\/p>\n<p>Feeding your dog with dried fish also supplies them with potassium.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/a-to-z-guides\/what-does-potassium-do-body\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trace mineral is known<\/a> to <strong>promote good heart muscle contraction.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All these benefits contribute to making your dog\u2019s cardiovascular system healthy.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>6.

Can dried fish be bad for dogs, too?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unfortunately, dried fish can be bad for your dog, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This happens either because the fish is high in sodium and mercury or because of fish bone ingestion.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s find out more about these risks below!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>High Sodium Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many dried fish in the market\u2014especially in Asian markets\u2014often use<a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalkitchenjapan.com\/blogs\/articles\/how-to-make-overnight-dried-fish-at-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0salt<\/a> in their drying process.<\/p>\n<p>Salt draws out the moisture in the fish\u2019s flesh, preparing it for sun-drying.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why most dried fish are high in sodium content.<\/p>\n<p>And any excess amounts of salt intake can lead to <a href=\"https:\/\/topdogtips.com\/is-salt-bad-for-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">salt poisoning<\/a> for your poor dog.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of salt toxicosis, as explained by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msdvetmanual.com\/authors\/thompson-larry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Larry Thompson, DVM<\/a>, former Senior Research and Vet Toxicologist at Nestle Purina Petcare, include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>depression<\/li>\n<li>weakness<\/li>\n<li>ataxia<\/li>\n<li>muscle tremors<\/li>\n<li>gastroenteritis<\/li>\n<li>seizure-like activity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When it comes to treatment, Dr. Thompson said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"td_pull_quote td_pull_center\"><p>Treatment approach is to evaluate the patient's hydration and electrolyte status and slowly return the animal to normal water and electrolyte balance over several days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some fish drying techniques vets recommend as alternatives to salty-dried fish are freeze-drying or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/cooking-techniques\/dry-aged-fish-joint-sherman-oaks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dry aging<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of healthy dog treats are also dehydrated using these processes.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you can get your hands on freeze-dried fish or a dry-aged one, your fish-eating Fido will probably thank you for it!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Fishes with High Mercury Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <a

href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/which_fish_have_highest_and_lowest_mercury_levels\/article.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more mercury<\/a> than other fish types!<\/p>\n<p>Try to avoid feeding your dog the following fish as they may contain high levels of mercury:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bluefish<\/li>\n<li>Groper<\/li>\n<li>Marlin<\/li>\n<li>Chilean Sea Bass<\/li>\n<li>Orange Roughy<\/li>\n<li>Yellowfin Tuna<\/li>\n<li>Ahi Tuna<\/li>\n<li>Big Eye Tuna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want to feed your dog with dried fish, <strong>stick with the types of fish that are low in accumulated mercury.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some of these fish are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Salmon<\/li>\n<li>Sardine<\/li>\n<li>Anchovies<\/li>\n<li>Tilapia<\/li>\n<li>Freshwater Trout<\/li>\n<li>Catfish<\/li>\n<li>Flounder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Fish Bones<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fish bones are immediately a hazard when you feed your dog with fish.<\/p>\n<p>Because they are

three small pieces daily<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you don\u2019t want to feed him dried sardines in one go<strong>. <\/strong>Just give your pet a piece of every meal as a side
