The dogs were introduced to Mackerel today, whole uncleaned. Ramone enjoyed it immensely as you can see by the picture. Lola gave it a good sniff and some licks but that was it, she's a bit fussier on new things than Ramone is

I was assured that mackerel was a greyhound favourite. Royal wanted nothing to do with it!I guess it is very much like humans....the only seafood she will eat is salmon but she prefers it cooked.

Try cutting it in half and handing it over that way. Sometimes it takes them a bit to figure out that they need to puncture the skin to get the flesh.

I feed fish as well, but have found some dogs love it, some hate it. I buy those bags of little mackeral or smelt (they are about $3-4 for a frozen bag) and feed those. I have found that if I feed them thawed they are not as popular as the frozen ones (cleaner too!).

Second try at Mackerel I cut one in half, Lola still wouldn't go for it, oh well, I might try smelts frozen, but it's not that huge of a deal if she doesn't care for fresh fish, she will eat sardines though

Yum yum a "fish stick dinner" as it is termed in my house! Poor Lola doesn't know what she's missing - her loss is Ramone's gain he probably thinks! I haven't actually tried mackereal yet for Chicky. She did not eat smelts when I bought them but she absolutely loooovvvves sardines & salmon.
