Dog Food, Which Dogs Don't Naturally Eat Fish?

It’s common for us to have fruits, veggies, meat, and fish from all different corners of the world. We get kangaroo in Canada, ostrich in Ontario, avocados to the Artic Circle, but we did not evolve eating such a wide variety of foods.

For thousands of years, hundreds of generations, we and our canine and feline companions have only eaten what was available locally. We evolved and thrived on local cuisine. Thus, some of us and our dogs & cats evolved eating fish and some did not.

The following is a list of dogs that evolved in regions where they would not have been routinely fed fish. If your dog’s breed is on this list, it may be more natural for your pet to have flax as a source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids than to eat fish. If so, Missing Link is an excellent source of flax for cats and dogs. If your dog is on this list and you'd like Missing Link, come see us at WaterWorkz. We carry both the Puppy and the Missing Link Plus Professional Strength with 1000 mg glucosamine per tablespoon.
