With low mercury levels, it’s packed with essential nutrients such as calcium, iodine, omega-3s, vitamin A and B-vitamins that promote good organ function in dogs. Consuming pomfret can support your pup’s heart health, but you should always keep in mind that raw pomfret may contain bacteria or parasites and that bones can be a choking hazard.
