RiverStar-Aura Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 After months of being "temporarily unavailable" I found tins of mackerel in natural mackerel oil back on the shelves of my local Woolies. I was so excited that I stocked up -- just incase the fish disappear again! ;) If there's anyone out there who'd like some but is having trouble getting it, I'd be more than happy to buy and post some.

kazads Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Mine LOVE the tinned mackeral in tomato sauce - have never had a problem with supply. They also love the sardines in tomato sauce too, but the mackeral works out cheaper Edited November 11, 2011 by kazads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yep I noticed this too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralPug Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Shhh! Don't tell anybody, they'll rush and the shelves will be empty again! It often goes out of stock for ages. When it's in, like now, I run around to all the stores in driving distance and fill my cupboard. It's bursting atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lavendergirl Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Is this the Home Brand Mackerel that comes from China? Not sure if I am looking at the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I thought I was the only one who fed this to pets. Just watch out though, it's very salty I think, although I haven't fed it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was wondering the same thing. Yeh that's the one I feed my guys. They only get it once a week on a rotation with sardines and tuna too but love it. I enjoy the looks on their faces when they realise it's fish time -- Zeus, who isn't a drool-y dog, actually starts drooling! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furbubbas Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 ooh I'll have to try this with our pup (he loves sardines)... but is it ok to give them something with tomato as a base? i thought tomato was a no-no? (or have I got my wires crossed?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lavendergirl Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I wonder how much seafood is too much though. I feed a fish based kibble to my 5kg dog and also add a teaspoon of salmon or tuna on most days. Would this have any bad effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From about 6months of age (they are now 2.5) mine have entirely eaten a fish diet due to allergies and every vet/groomer that has ever seen them comments on how healthy they are and tell me continue whatever i am doing so no problems here.

RuralPug Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't feed the one in tomato sauce because of the high salt content. I only feed the mackerel in mackerel sauce - the tomato sauce one is usually available but the other is often out of stock for some reason.

Grumpy is currently on a prescription diet food but Mini gets a fish based kibble and their prime meat is mackerel, sardines or tuna. They only get a bit of chicken or liver as a treat in general.
