Buying on line you dont really see the size of them. Rather large for a Cavoodle. Would rather buy in person - Emerald Market.
My dog loves this sardine. Not many place have similar treats. I always buy a big bag for him.

Why feed mussels/benefits of mussels:
Mussels are a rich source of iron so they can assist in anemia prevention. They are also high in vitamin B12 which is needed for the production of red blood cells.
Mussels are also an excellent source of omega 3, EPA and DHA. Omega 3 is known for its benefits to animals with osteoarthritis and locomotor disability (problems moving around). Omega 3 can significantly improve the performance of daily activities.
Omega-3s play a huge role in your pet’s health in many ways, among them:
- Improving the health of your pet’s skin and coat. Poor skin condition puts your pet at risk for itching, irritation, skin allergies and bacterial infections.
- Alleviating the harmful effects of allergies and other conditions that result from an over reactive immune system response.
- Slowing the growth of common yeast infections in your pet.
- Aiding proper development of the retina and visual cortex.
- Preventing certain heart problems in your pet.
- Maintaining healthy blood pressure and decreasing triglyceride and blood cholesterol levels.
- Regulating blood-clotting activity.
- Slowing the development and spread of certain pet cancers.
