With the summer fishing season here it is time to fill your freezer with fresh Alaskan fish. If there is an abundance of previous years catch taking up space in the freezer why not use it to make home made doggy fish sticks? Fish and fish oil is a great supplement for dogs, for years vets have used the it for the treatment of allergies and joint health. Salmon in particular is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that are great for shiny and itch free coats. Any fish will do for this recipe, salmon, halibut, trout and cod are all acceptable, but salmon seems to be in abundance here in Alaska and is richer in omega-3 than the others. You can use wheat flour as a substitute for the rice or potato flour if your dog does not have a wheat allergy. Make sure to remove all bones and don't use fish that is freezer burnt, if you won't eat it yourself don't feed it to your best friend! Your dog will thank you.
