FranVT Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have some fresh barra fillets and OH doesn't eat fish. Eating one now, really delicious, def won't get a chance to eat the other one before it goes bad. Can I give it to Atlas? Never thought of giving him fish before. If so, should I cook it first?

Sandra777 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Give it to him raw...whole raw fish is fine for dogs, fillets will be fine, but don't be surprised if he wants it gently poached and served with lemon wedges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranVT Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 :D He scarfed it down very quickly raw, especially as I'd just made him eat some yukky antibiotics. He is a love though, looks at the tablets in my hand, looks at me, looks at the tablets, then has a big sigh and licks them up out of my hand. Reece said "your dad will have a coronary if he knows you fed that to Atlas" - it was dad's receptionist's hubby who gave them to him and he passed them on to us because HE couldn't eat them all, then I couldn't eat it all, what would be better - throwing it in the bin? Nah give them to someone who appreciates them, like Atlas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam&Saki Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 My doggy prefers fish to any other food in the world :D Sardines, tuna, the oilier and smellier the better Common with Spitz dogs, and good for their coat too ;) x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Clover Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Mine had fresh sardines in their dinners tonight, out of the four of them only Tinny turned her nose up . She eventually caved but would not eat the head :D. I try and feed fish atleast once or twice a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 My dog is an allergy dog and lives in a Fish diet so yep you can feed Fish to your dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubitty Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yup! My dogs eat raw fish 3 times a week and they love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corvus Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Erik says... Yes! That was at about 12 weeks, I think. Straight into his little Whiting. Kivi eats his fast so Erik won't get it: I usually get Sand or Red Spot Whiting. Sometimes Leatherjacket. I wanted to get some Whitebait last week to use as recall treats. OH was not as amused by this notion as I was, so I passed. This time. ETA Barra is my favourite. No dogs would be fortunate enough to get Barra in this house. ;) Edited October 30, 2009 by corvus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aequus Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Mine get fish but only in the morning........ so I don't have to smell the ikky bottom burps it gives them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Lucky Atlas Pele had a tin of salmon tonight. I opened it for me but it had bones in it - yuck, so gave it to Pele. Pele gets tinned sardines or mackeral a couple of times per week. Jessie used to get fresh, raw fish from the fishermen at the beach. The old guys used to spoil her. Lyle used to save a fish for her and put it on his chair for her so that she wouldn't get sand on it They used to think that it was funny if the fish was still alive - head-first down her throat still wriggling Chomp, chomp and it was gone - eeuughhh!!!

Snoopy21 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 So can I ask what fish everyone feeds? I guess it would be whatever was cheap and available. I can get salmon heads and spines very cheap are they OK? Willow loves her sardines and the occasional can of tuna but some fresh fish would be better.
