Nutrition Notes
Salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which support skin and coat health, reduce inflammation, and promote brain function. Quinoa is a rare plant-based complete protein. Broccoli provides vitamins C and K, and blueberries are a powerful antioxidant. This is an exceptional meal for dogs that need extra skin and coat support.
Tips
- Always check salmon thoroughly for small bones before serving.
- Fresh or frozen salmon works equally well — just ensure frozen salmon is fully thawed first.
- Blueberries can be served fresh or frozen — frozen ones make a nice crunchy addition.
- This is an excellent meal for dogs with dry skin or dull coats.
