Smelt Fishies Snackers Beast Treats
Smelt Fishies Snackers Beast Treats
RUFUS BFF Smelt Fishies Snackers are made from small cold water fish closely related to salmon and trout. Canadian Smelt, like salmon, spend most of their life in salt water, migrating into fresh water streams and lakes to spawn.
Freeze-dried Canadian wild-caught whole smelt are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, needed vitamins such as Vitamins D and B12, and necessary minerals such as calcium, phosphorous and selenium. Smelt is consistently categorized as a "low mercury" fish by the U.S. FDA Monitoring Program (1998-2009). Smelt is considered a top choice for fish consumption, along with salmon, sardine, tilapia and mackerel.
Smelt Fishies Snackers Beast Treats are "soft-boned" and can be fed whole, and are special delights for cats and smaller breeds of dogs.
