We have been feeding our 135 lb. Boerboel a raw diet for several months now. Is there a risk associated with feeding raw fish too often? And aside from salmon, are there types of fish that should be avoided? Are farm-raised fish as good as wild-caught?
Full Question:
Cindy,I'm hoping you have some good advice on this. We have been feeding our 135 lb. Boerboel a raw diet for several months now. I am so glad we switched!! I am a little confused about one thing, though. Everything I have read seems to say or imply that raw fish is ok 1-2 times a week. Is there a risk associated with feeding raw fish more often? And aside from salmon, are there types of fish that should be avoided? Are farm-raised fish as good as wild-caught? Thanks so much for your time.

Cindy's Answer:
We feed fish about once a week. I suppose if your dog doesn’t have issue with it, you could feed it more often. Every dog is different and it’s more about balance over time than worrying about each day or week’s menu.
The risks of fish can be swallowed hooks, if you feed fish caught with a hook make sure the hook has been removed from the fish. I don’t feed farm raised fish at all, nor do I eat it myself. You can do a google search on farm raised vs. wild caught fish to find out the details.
