SafeYes, in water, no salt added.
A great omega-3 treat: one sardine for a small dog or a cat, two or three for a large dog, once or twice a week. Not in oil, brine or tomato sauce with onion.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Safe for dogs means: fine as an occasional treat, prepared as described.
