is all fish ok? Toby gets tuna as a treat occasionally and he has had little bits of haddock before. He was going nuts at the smell from the anchovies but wasn't sure if they were ok as they are more salty?

Selkie is intolerant of the oil, so I get Tuna in spring water.. I always feed tuna with their kibble if we are in polite company as the smell is less offensive than dog mush!

I would personally avoid anchovy as too much salt, or at least only as a very rare treat and only one or two.

Tuna are top predators. Watch the amount you give to avoid a build up of mercury in the bloodstream. I would stick more to oily fish (tinned tuna is not) like herring, pichards etc. Again, all tinned varieties have higher concentration of salt than fresh varieties.

Ive read about the high mercury content too as well as all tinned fishing having higher salt content. T gets tinned tuna in oil/springwater once a week max, with the oil drained off. But he will also have fresh fish like salmon if i have it

He did used to eat raw sardines but refuses them now!

That's not what she asked, she asked if tuna was OK to feed, maybe like many of us borderbob , is just looking for a nice weekly treat to give her dog.


As others have said , yes its OK, but not in brine.

as a treat to use in brine is okay once in a while, more long term (adding to kibble) i would use in water or oil. Tuna and rice isnt going to give you dog what he needs on a long term basis thou

No, won't be good long term, but tuna in spring water and rice is good for a couple of days after a bad bum

I have a pal who used to run a fish farm, and, as a result, Kali and Snorri used to feast occasionally on baked salmon, which they adored - every crumb would disappear! No unpleasant side-effects at all! They also loved tuna (as others have said) in oil. The oil helps to transport vitamins, etc., through the skin, thus deterring (e.g.) scurf, and generally being beneficial to the coat.
