Did you know that October is National Seafood Month? Just like their human counterparts, plenty of pets have a natural affinity for foods that come from the ocean. Not only is seafood delicious to many people and pets, but fish is packed with powerful nutrients that contribute to overall health and wellness. And since some pets have food intolerances to other protein sources, fish proteins offer a welcome alternative for sensitive pets.

Check out some of the benefits of the most common seafood ingredients we use in Wellness recipes:

Salmon:

Salmon oil:

Tuna:

Whitefish:

For Wellness dogs and cats who are seafood aficionados, we’ve curated some of our most delectable (and healthy) fish-based meals and snacks we recommend spoiling your pet with this month and throughout the year.
