Elyse Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 What kinds of (raw) fish are okay to give to dogs? The reason I'm asking, is that somebody on here (I forget who, but I think it was a mod?) told me Salmon carries a disease that is deadly for dogs, but doesn't affect bears or people. I'm thinking of buying him some raw whole fish for Christmas, but I don't know which ones are okay and which ones are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 my boys have had mackrel and rainbow trout - i think it depends on where the fish are from? [MENTION=322]Mazz[/MENTION] i think was the one who mentioned about the Salmon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazz Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Salmon and trout, from western North America (west of the Mississippi), and Pacific Salmon can carry a parasite that can be lethal to canines. Freezing the fish below 0°F for 14 days or fully cooking should be safe. If it were me, I would simply not feed any trout or salmon unless cooked, just to be safe.

Andy Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I think most white fish. . . . Cod, Hake etc is ok for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmscott Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Sea Best sells a whole tilapia for a good price, i think the bag has like 6 in it. I agree with freezing it for a couple weeks, however, cooking is where you can run into problems with bones so if you want to cook something, buy boneless. I would buy a raw fish now, freeze it for the couple weeks until xmas, then give it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
