Red Sprats (more commonly sold simply as Dried Sprats or Baltic Sprats in the UK) are a highly popular, 100% natural, single-ingredient fish treat for dogs and puppies. These small forage fish, belonging to the herring family, are gently air-dried from raw to lock in their rich nutritional profile, intense aroma, and natural flavours.

Usage & Safety Guidelines
Because sprats are rich in natural oils, they should be fed as a complementary treat rather than a meal replacement. Treat allowances should generally not exceed 10% of your dog’s daily diet. Always supervise your dog while they chew, ensure a fresh bowl of drinking water is available, and adjust their main meal portions accordingly to maintain a healthy weight
