I agree with Jenny about it being okay several times a week...Toki has never had issues with getting a small amount everyday. If I didn't just mix the entire tin into a recipe, I'd probably give a good spoonful daily (like a couple teaspoons worth maybe)...my pups tolerate all kinds of various toppers very well so I'm not generally as conservative with the amounts if the food isn't high in fat/calories (like I'll just dollop a good spoonful of something instead of breaking out the teeny measuring spoons).
And I remember when I had stockpiled a ton of large cans of TikiDog that I got on sale...they have a sardine cutlet variety so Toki would get a big ol' bowl of essentially just sardines (maybe 3 oz) for a meal twice a day and she suffered no ill effects and was just as happy as could be!
But I don't think it would hurt to start off low with 1/2 tsp like you mentioned just to see how your pups handle it. One tin will last you a while! |
