Dried 100% Atlantic mackerel fillets for dogs

What makes Mr Bones' mackerel fillets a responsible choice?

One ingredient, clear origin (Atlantic mackerel), and air-drying without unnecessary additives – it's a natural and simple way to indulge. The minimalist approach means less processing and a short ingredient list. When treats contain no fillers, you avoid unnecessary “junk” in your dog's food bowl.

Who are the mackerel fillets designed for?

Suitable for dogs of all sizes as everyday rewards and quick chew moments. For small and medium breeds (e.g., toy poodle, bichon frisé, Shetland sheepdog, whippet) the fillets are already bite-sized, for larger breeds (e.g., border collie, Labrador retriever, Australian shepherd) they work as tasty snacks or training treats. Always serve under supervision.

What benefits does mackerel have for your dog's well-being?

Mackerel is naturally high in protein and contains omega-3 fatty acids that support everyday stamina and coat shine as part of a varied diet. The crunchy chewing of the treat also provides activity and helps keep the mouth cleaner.

What is the hardness and chewiness like?

Hardness is low to medium: the fillets snap but are not a hard chew bone. Calm chewers enjoy them longer, while fast gulpers finish pieces more quickly. Adjust the piece size to your dog's style.

What ingredients are in these – and why is it an eco-friendly choice?

Only 100% air-dried Atlantic mackerel. A single-protein, grain-free recipe means fewer raw materials and no unnecessary gimmicks – good for both the dog and recipe clarity.

How big are the pieces and how much is in the bag?

The bag contains 70 g of fillets, and a single piece is typically about 10–12 cm. As a natural product, size and shape vary, so you can easily find a piece suitable for your dog.

How do I serve the mackerel fillets safely?

Serve under supervision, adjust the size to the eating style, and remove pieces that are too small. Always keep fresh water available. If your dog gulps, serve smaller pieces or as “hand rewards”.

Can I use these as training rewards?

Yes – the fillets break into neat mini pieces that work excellently in obedience training and everyday practice. For example, Parson Russell Terrier, Mittelspitz, and Cockapoo often work more eagerly when rewarded with a fragrant fish treat.

Are they suitable for puppies and seniors?

Suitable when considering dental and jaw condition. For puppies (e.g., Lagotto Romagnolo, Miniature Schnauzer) serve in calm moments and, if needed, in smaller pieces; for seniors (e.g., Labradoodle, Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever) low to medium hardness is often pleasant.

Is this an option for sensitive stomachs or elimination diets?

A single-protein product makes choices easier when sticking to one ingredient. Start with a small amount and monitor your dog's condition – individual differences are possible.

How often should mackerel be given?

Offer as a complementary treat, no more than about 10% of the dog's daily total energy. For most dogs, 2–4 fish moments per week is a natural rhythm, which you can adjust according to activity.

How do mackerel fillets compare to thicker chews – and why is this a “lighter” choice?

These are quickly enjoyed and tidy – excellent for rewarding and short restorative moments. When the recipe is simple, you also avoid unnecessary additives and multi-component products.

For which breeds is the size especially suitable?

For small and medium breeds (bichon frisé, Shelties, Cockapoo, whippet) the pieces are often already suitable. For large breeds (border collie, labrador, Siberian husky) fillets should be divided into several small treats. Always measure and assess your own dog – chewing strength and style vary.

How do I store and use the bag’s “last crumbs” ecologically?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, and close the bag carefully after opening. Use zero waste: use crumbs on top of food as a “topper” or as training treats – everything gets utilized.

Why choose Mr Bones if I want to emphasize eco-friendliness?

Mr Bones' philosophy is naturalness and simplicity: one clear protein, air-drying, and a minimalist recipe without unnecessary additives. When you choose such a “keep it simple” treat, you make an easy and thoughtful choice for your dog – and make everyday life a bit lighter for the environment.
