Water-packed, no-salt sardines are safe occasionally and rich in omega-3. Drain well first.
Short answer
Yes, plain water-packed sardines are safe for dogs as an occasional treat. They are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Just be sure to drain them thoroughly first and avoid any sardines packed in oil, salt, or sauces. Offer a small amount to start, and contact your own vet if your dog has an upset stomach afterward.
