Fresh Fish in dog food | Which Dog Food

Fresh fish is an excellent source of high-quality, easily digestible protein and is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, which support skin, coat, joint and brain health. Because it is listed as 'fresh', the ingredient includes its natural moisture content, meaning the actual dry-matter protein contribution is lower than the raw weight suggests. Common species used in dog food include salmon, herring, trout and whitefish. Fresh fish is a strong indicator of a quality recipe.
