Ingredients
  

For the Nibbles
  • 3 oz Canned Sardines Provides essential omega-3 fatty acids for your dog’s joint health. Opt for sardines in water, not oil!
  • 1 Hard-Boiled Egg A fantastic source of protein and serves as a binding agent.
  • 1/4 cup Rolled Oats Absorbs fishy flavors while adding fiber; stick to plain, old-fashioned oats for safety.
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Broth Adds moisture and helps bind the mixture; ensure it’s free from onions and garlic.
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Parsley Adds a hint of freshness and flavor while being safe and tasty for dogs.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by draining the canned sardines and placing them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork to thoroughly mash the sardines together with one hard-boiled egg until you achieve a smooth consistency. This should take about 2 minutes.
  2. Next, add 1/4 cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup of low-sodium chicken broth, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley to the mashed sardines and egg. Stir the mixture well for about 1-2 minutes until everything is evenly combined and forms a cohesive batch.
  3. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes in the bowl to let the rolled oats absorb the moisture from the chicken broth.
  4. With wet hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture to roll into bite-sized balls, roughly the size of a tablespoon. Aim for uniformity to ensure even firmness in your Sardine and Egg Nibbles.
  5. Place the tray of nibbles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
