Is tuna safe for dogs? The mercury question answered

Tuna is safe for dogs when the species is low in mercury and quantities stay within the 10% treat guideline. Mercury accumulates with a fish's size and lifespan. Skipjack is the smallest and shortest-lived commercial tuna and averages 0.13 ppm in FDA testing, against 0.35 ppm for albacore and 0.69 ppm for bigeye.

Tuna species	Average mercury (FDA)	FDA category	Used by Sea Bites
Skipjack (light tuna)	0.13 ppm	Best Choices	Yes
Albacore (white tuna)	0.35 ppm	Good Choices	No
Bigeye	0.69 ppm	Choices to Avoid	No
FDA action level	1.0 ppm	Removed from sale	-

At treat-level quantities, a dog eating skipjack inside the 10% guideline is far below any level of concern. A dog regularly fed canned albacore from a household kitchen represents a more relevant exposure than this product does.

Why is this the leanest treat in the range?

Fat supplies approximately 9 calories per gram against 4 calories per gram for protein. Skipjack tuna is naturally lean, and because freeze-drying adds no oil, the finished treat is 3% fat and 66% protein at roughly 6 calories per piece.

Low fat also reduces digestive load. Fat slows gastric emptying and increases demand on the pancreas, which makes rich treats one of the more common causes of loose stools in otherwise healthy dogs. Tuna is the recommended starting point at sensitive stomach dog treats.

For dogs on a weight-management plan, calorie tables across the full range are at low calorie dog treats.

How is this different from canned tuna?

Canned tuna is typically packed in brine or oil. Brine adds significant sodium and oil adds unnecessary fat, neither of which a dog needs. Freeze-dried skipjack contains no added salt, no oil and no water - only the fish.

How many tuna treats can my dog have?

Keep treats under 10% of daily calories. At approximately 6 calories per piece, a 10 kg (22 lb) dog can have about nine pieces per day and a 30 kg (66 lb) dog about twenty-two.

Dog weight	Daily treat budget	Tuna pieces per day
5 kg / 11 lb	35 kcal	5 pieces
20 kg / 44 lb	100 kcal	16 pieces
30 kg / 66 lb	135 kcal	22 pieces
40 kg / 88 lb	167 kcal	27 pieces

How should these be stored?

No refrigeration needed. Keep the bag sealed and store it cool, dry and out of direct sunlight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dogs eat tuna?

Yes, in sensible quantities and with attention to species. Skipjack is low in mercury at 0.13 ppm. The greater risks with tuna come from the form: brine adds sodium and oil adds fat. Plain freeze-dried skipjack has neither.

How much tuna can a dog eat?

Keep treats under 10% of daily calories. At roughly 6 calories per piece, that is about nine pieces daily for a 10 kg dog. Subtract the treat calories from the daily food measure rather than adding them.

Is canned tuna safe for dogs?

Plain tuna in water is safer than tuna in brine or oil, but canned tuna often carries added salt. Single-ingredient freeze-dried skipjack avoids both problems, with no added sodium and no packing oil.

Which tuna has the least mercury?

Skipjack, sold as light tuna, at approximately 0.13 ppm in FDA testing. Albacore averages 0.35 ppm and bigeye 0.69 ppm. Mercury accumulates with fish size and lifespan, and skipjack is the smallest commercial tuna.

Is tuna good for dogs with sensitive stomachs?

Tuna is the leanest option in this range at 3% fat, which makes it the gentlest starting point. Introduce it gradually over at least a week regardless of how well a dog normally tolerates new foods.

Can cats eat these tuna treats?

Yes, occasionally and in small amounts. Tuna should never be a large part of a cat's diet because it lacks taurine and vitamin E and contains thiaminase. Kept under 10% of daily calories alongside complete cat food, it is safe. See cat treats.
