Best Fat / Healthy Fats-Rich Foods for Dogs

Ranked by fat / healthy fats content among foods safe for dogs in the Creature Feast catalog.

Salmon per 100g cooked: ~13g fat Salmon is rich in healthy omega-3 fats that support your dog's coat, brain, and joints. The fat in salmon is among the most beneficial you can offer.

Coconut Oil per teaspoon: ~4.5g fat Coconut oil provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that are easily digested. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way for coat health.

Eggs 1 large egg: ~5g fat Eggs provide a balanced mix of healthy fats including omega-3s (especially from pastured hens), along with fat-soluble vitamins A, D, and E.

Canned Sardines per 100g: ~11g fat Canned sardines are packed with healthy omega-3 fats. Choose sardines packed in water rather than oil to control total fat intake.

Sunflower Seeds per 30g: ~15g fat Sunflower seeds provide omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin E. Offer unsalted, shelled seeds in small amounts as a topper.

Peanut butter per tablespoon: ~8g fat Peanut butter is a tasty fat source dogs love, but choose natural varieties with no xylitol (which is toxic to dogs) and no added sugar.

Chicken Breast per 100g cooked (skinless): ~3.6g fat Chicken breast is a lean protein source with moderate healthy fat. Skin-on provides more fat if your dog needs extra calories.

Hemp Seeds per 30g (3 tbsp): ~14g fat Hemp seeds provide an excellent balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in a ratio that supports your dog's inflammatory balance.
