Can cats or dogs eat sardines?
Cats: No ruling yet · Dogs: Use caution — The AKC says dogs can eat sardines — even the bones, an exception to the usual rule, because sardine bones are soft and digestible and add calcium. The fish must be cooked and portions modest. Choose unseasoned, and skip cans packed in oil or salty sauce — the extra sodium and fat risk weight gain and pancreatitis. For cats, no major veterinary source has weighed in. Choose sardines packed in water with no salt or sauce. An occasional treat, no more than 10% of the day's food.
