Can dogs eat salmon?
Generally safe when cooked, plain and boneless. Raw salmon is a separate caution.
Cooked, boneless salmon is generally listed as safe for dogs and is a source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids. The documented cautions are to cook it thoroughly and remove all bones. Raw or undercooked salmon is treated separately because of a parasite risk that veterinary sources describe as significant.
Classification reflects guidance from VCA, PDSA.
