Freeze Dried Scallop

The mildest and leanest seafood we make. Where salmon and anchovy are too strong — for the pet or for the household — this is the one that generally works.

• Ingredients: Scallop. Nothing else.
• Suitable for: fussy cats and dogs, pets on low-fat diets, anyone put off by fishy smells
• Net weight: 1.5 oz (43 g)
• Under 1 kcal per piece — the lowest-calorie treat in our range

Product detail

Scallop is very low in fat and high in protein, with a markedly milder odour than our oily fish. That distinction matters more than it might appear: many owners want the nutritional profile of seafood without the accompanying smell in the house.

At 79% protein, 3% fat, and under 1 kcal per piece, this is the treat to reach for when calories are the constraint. A pet on strict weight management can have a genuine handful of these and barely register it against the day's allowance — which is unusual, and useful.

Freeze-dried, it holds its shape and breaks cleanly, which makes portioning straightforward. It is also the easiest of our seafood products to portion for a cat.

Feeding guidance

Intended for intermittent or supplemental feeding only. Treats should account for no more than 10% of your pet's daily caloric intake, with the remaining 90% coming from a complete and balanced diet. Fresh water should always be available. Individual requirements vary — consult your veterinarian regarding your own pet.

• Cat: up to 20 pieces per day
• Dog under 20 lb: up to 30 pieces per day
• Dog 20–50 lb: up to 60 pieces per day
• Dog over 50 lb: up to 100 pieces per day

Introduce gradually if your pet has not had shellfish before. For smaller pets, break pieces into smaller portions.

Storage and shelf life

Always go by the Best By date printed on your pouch — that date is specific to the batch you have, and it is the accurate one.

As a general guide, at 3% fat this is among the more shelf-stable things we make: typically 12–18 months unopened when stored cool and dry, out of direct sunlight. Once opened, use within about 60 days.

Reseal tightly after every use.
