Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What specific benefits does collagen in cod skin provide to dogs?

Ans: Collagen supports joint cartilage, bone health, and connective tissue integrity. For senior dogs, collagen improves mobility, reduces arthritis pain, and strengthens skin elasticity and coat health.

Q2: How do omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids benefit dogs?

Ans: Omega-3 EPA and DHA reduce systemic inflammation, support skin hydration, promote shiny coats, strengthen immune response, and support brain function and cardiovascular health.

Q3: Are these treats suitable for dogs with allergies?

Ans: Yes, single-ingredient treats suit dogs with limited diets. However, fish allergies affect 25-50% atopic dogs. Monitor the first introduction closely. Consult a vet if the dog has a history of fish allergies.

Q4: Can I give Cod Crispies to puppies and senior dogs?

Ans: Yes, suitable for all life stages. Break pieces into smaller portions for puppies and seniors. High-quality protein supports growth in puppies; seniors gain joint and coat benefits.

Q5: Why is freeze-drying important for preserving cod skin nutrition?

Ans: Freeze-drying removes water at low temperatures, preserving omega-3s, collagen, vitamins, and enzymes better than high-heat processing or traditional dehydration methods.

Q6: Are freeze-dried fish treats safe from bacterial contamination?

Ans: Freeze-drying does not eliminate all pathogens; handle it like raw meat. Wash your hands thoroughly. Most harmful bacteria persist frozen; freezing is preservation, not bacterial control.

Q7: Can Cod Crispies help with my dog's teeth and gum health?

Ans: Yes, dense crunchy texture acts like a toothbrush, mechanically reducing plaque buildup. Regular chewing promotes fresher breath and healthier gums naturally.

Q8: How should I introduce Cod Crispies to my dog's diet?

Ans: Start with one piece; observe two to three days before increasing the amount. Gradual introduction over one week helps prevent digestive upset and allergic reactions.

Q9: Where does Dr. Marty source their cod, and is it sustainable?

Ans: Wild-caught cod sourced responsibly minimizing mercury and toxin accumulation compared to farmed fish. Always verify quality sourcing from trusted suppliers, ensuring sustainability.
