Fish

[Baine]

Hello,

While out grocery shopping I was looking at the complete fish.

Is there any rules to feeding fish?

Thank you

I do not believe there are rules re: feeding fish as long as it has been frozen for 2 weeks, if caught fresh.

Grocery store fish should be fine to feed.

Pacific Salmon are the ones you want to be SURE to freeze solid for a few weeks. Not sure on other kinds.

I feed whole fresh-frozen wild California sardines (not canned) - I pull them from the freezer and put them in the dog dish and feed (Denna loves fishicles!). Or, I let them thaw in the fridge, then feed whole. Each fish is about 6oz. Denna normally gets one a day for her omega 3's.

Salmon, Trout, Steelhead.

ALL fresh caught fish needs to be frozen hard for 2 weeks minimum? Hubs fishes and I fed Sonny 1 fresh awhile back:/

Fish bones? I got a fish bone stuck in my throat as a kid. I have a really hard time eating fish now because of that and if I find one bone...I can't eat it. What about the dogs? Are the bones a problem for the dogs? I'd be terrified to give him a fish!

Our dogs haven't had any problems with fish bones. The only thing I remove from fish is any spines or barbs they may have on their fins.

The only thing my vet warned me been warned against is feeding Mackrel and Tuna because of the mercury levels.

My dogs only get the small scraps that escape from the fish cleaning table, only tiny scraps the rest is used as lobster and crafish bait.

Crawfish bait cracks me up when I hear it. I am the crawfish bait!
At least that's what my Dad used to tell me when we'd go fishing and he'd throw me in to catch crawdads and Helgramites as bait for us.
