Hi All, I've been giving my boys some sardines in tomato sauce every other day. I haven't given them all the sauce though as I wasn't sure if I should. Is it ok for them to have all the tomato sauce please?
Thanks, Jacqui :D

Mine have sardines or pilchards in tomato sauce as a full meal once a week and have a bit of the tomato sauce but not all. The sauce has salt in it and tomatoes are very acidic, so not good for teeth. I may be worrying too much about that but William doesn't have very good teeth (don't know why) and will be having a couple extracted very soon, so I try not to give him things that might weaken his teeth further.

Same as Elaine here - has sardines/pilchards once a week and some of the sauce... I wouldn't want to give them too much of the sauce too regularly...
-
I'm glad I haven't given them all of it now ;) I've just lifted the fish out and popped them in the bowls with whatever sauce has coated them and no more. My boys have them as a topper on their food 3 times a week and love them :luv:
-
That's what I do too.

I find Maisie prefers 'em without the tommy sauce :005:

Both mine prefer fish with sunflower oil...not keen on toamto sauce

Mine love sardines in tomato sauce. They share a tin as a treat a couple of times a month and I share all the sauce between them. I don't think it will do any harm as it is a rare treat for them. They spend ages licking the bowls afterwards.
-
a bit of the sauce, but not all here .. my 3 also love the sauce :005:
-
Mine love their sardines, I give them once a week if in tommy sauce they get a little but not all of it.
-
Both mine have sardines in oil and lick their bowls clean everytime
-
Mine have sardines in tomato sauce or tuna with every meal but I share a tin between the 2 of them and it does two meals - so one tin a day between them. I give them all the sauce and mix it up with their dry food if it's sardines - if it's tuna I drain the tin first. Bit worried now that they may be getting too much salt - off to do some research on dogs and salt now....
-
Coco has a whole tin in tomato sauce - she has all of it with a raw egg on top as a complete meal - but she only has it about once a week ;)
-
My two share a tin with all the sauce once or twice a week.

I used to give Pearl sardines in olive oil until the lady from the lawn care people suggested putting a bit of tomato puree into her food to help stop the burnt patches on the lawn. Not sure if its moving her onto sardines in tomato sauce [once or twice a fortnight] or being spayed but the lawn is looking better ;)

I give Riley morrisons own brand mackeral fillets in olive oil, I drain most of the oil off .
Only reason is my son buys them in for himself. I tend to add about half a can to his kibble and reduce the kibble. Or for a treat he gets them at lunchtime sometimes.

Your lawn is probably looking better because of all the rain we've been having. :(

Someone, somewhere told me once that adding a tablespoon of tomato juice every day to a bitch's food stops their wee burning the lawn (apparently the acid in the tomato juice counteracts the alkaline wee, which is what burns the grass) Never did try it though so can't comment on it's effectiveness.
