Whats your thoughts on mackrel as a main source of protein in dogs feed?
Mackerel is a helluva source of protein and overall nutrition compared to many meat sources ... having more vitamin and minerals than most of the mainstays, more protein, and a decent amount of fat/oils.
Yeah right my mate owns makerel boats gives me off cuts for the mutts i know bit h i gave him is fat as fuck and very shiney thought it might be good in right amount
never give more then 1 markrel at once unless u want your dogs to puke or have diaria. its a very fat fish
imo its best to give fish once a week, or two times a week half a portion.
Good in keep. Does give the runs if fed too much
Id be surprised if my mates bitch eats anything but. Im just looking at it instead of pig since i read that shit on here bout the worms that dont die in the freezer..
Yeah, I wouldn't use it every day either ... no kind of fish actually.Originally Posted by evolutionkennels
But 1x-2x/week it's a good, highly-nutritious (and cheap) staple.
Actually, chicken & beef have more fat than mackerel ... and mackerel has more protein.

Which is better Mackerel or Sardines (in water)? I feed one or the other 2 or 3 times a week. I'm thinking Sardines but I could be wrong.
You are right about the sardines. Sardines are low on the oceanic food chain, and therefore contain low amounts of mercury, PCBs and the other toxins that accumulate in longer-living marine predators such as salmon and tuna. Mackerel is very high in mercury. I dont have the time to elaborate on the negative effects of mercury but just google it and youll see why it would be foolish to feed something high in mercury to working animals when there is a healthier alternative.
