Safe (Must Be Cooked)
Salmon is one of the best fish for dogs. It is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which support the immune system, reduce inflammation, and keep the coat shiny.
The Danger of Raw Salmon
NEVER feed raw or undercooked salmon. Raw salmon can contain the Neorickettsia helminthoeca parasite, which causes Salmon Poisoning Disease. This condition is fatal if untreated.
Best Way to Serve
- Fully Cooked: Steam, grill, or bake it without oil, salt, garlic, or onions.
- Boneless: Ensure all small bones are removed to prevent choking.
- Canned: Canned salmon (in water, not oil) is safe and convenient.
Verdict: A superfood for dogs, provided it is fully cooked.
