It is considered very low for the presence of mercury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHerring is an extremely important dietary addition for carnivores because of its high levels of Essential Omega-3 fatty acids. Humans’, cats’, and dogs’ bodies lack the enzymes necessary to create Omega-3 fatty acids on our own, so since Omega-3 is vital to our health, we must consume foods rich in this nutrient to survive. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Essential Omega-3 fatty acids found in herring assist heart function, promotes healthy skin\/hair\/fur, enhance fetal brain development and adult brain functioning, improves insulin sensitivity, aids eye and retina health, helps prevent anemia and contains vitamin B 12, Vitamin D, the hard-to-find mineral selenium and iron. Essential?  Absolutely!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, herrings are rich in Omega-11 fatty acid, the little known but full of possibilities Cetoleic Acid.  Recent research has shown that Cetoleic Acid appears to boost the efficiency of Omega-3’s powerful benefits, making it a useful component in our pets and our own diets. If you want the benefits of a convenient, powerful source of Essential Omega-3 fatty acids in your pet’s diet, herring is a healthy choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor optimal nutritional value, we freeze-dry the whole herring, giving your pet the added benefits of consumable bones, organs, eyes, etc., making them a perfect part of a whole prey diet. Herrings’ size is approximately 5”, offering a satisfying-sized treat for most dogs.  Smaller dogs and cats may need them broken into more easily consumable pieces, but this is easily done. The gently crisp texture, rich aroma and unique herring flavor are very tempting to most pets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northwest Naturals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44595511361671,"sku":"087316311792","price":74.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/5341\/7095\/files\/Northwest-Naturals-Rewards-Freeze-dried-Herring-13oz.webp?v=1778972533","url":"https:\/\/www.metropetunleashed.ca\/products\/northwest-naturals-rewards-freeze-dried-herring-13oz","provider":"Metro Pet Unleashed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
