sheena Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 My local fish co-op had salmon scraps today, so I bought a kilo. There is no head or frame, but some of the other bits have bones. Do I need to remove these first before I feed them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Salmon bones are usually very easy to chew up and don't shatter like normal bones... I'd say as long as your dog tends to chew it's food, then I'd leave the bones in... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddybeans Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I don't want to cause a scare but I read previously that raw salmon is poisonous for dogs, i'm not sure how true.

sheena Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Maybe that only applies to wild salmon. The raw salmon I would be feeding is farmed & also as above. Thankyou for the information tho, teddybeans. Something I diddn't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gretel Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I often buy salmon scraps from the fish shop and add them to meals. The dogs love them. They crunch up any bones and fins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say what @persephone found is the answer, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
