Sealord Skipper Freeze Dried Whole Mackerel offers a nutrient-dense, single-ingredient treat in its natural, whole-body form. Made with 100% pure, ocean-caught New Zealand Jack Mackerel and freeze-dried to preserve its raw natural flavours and bioactive nutrients, delivering pure, raw-inspired dog treats in a safe and convenient form. Free from artificial additives, grains, and unnecessary fillers, Skipper Whole Mackerel provides an ultra-high protein, low-allergen treat ideal for reward training, daily enrichment, or pets with sensitive stomachs, without any compromise on flavour.
Sustainably caught in New Zealand’s cold, clean ocean waters and fully traceable back to the fishing vessel, every batch guarantees untamed purity, safety, and trusted New Zealand provenance.
Our freeze-drying technology flash-freezes fresh fish and gently removes moisture under a vacuum without heat, preserving the fish's raw natural nutrients, flavours, and delicate oils. This method ensures a high-protein, easily digestible treat that retains essential omega-3 fatty acids for healthy skin, coat, and overall wellbeing. By using freeze drying, we create a minimally processed, convenient, and lasting product that delivers raw, wholesome nutrition in every bite, making it an ideal choice for pets with sensitive stomachs or those who benefit from a natural, nutrient-rich diet.
