I'm a bit worried about feeding her fish. I know it's good for her, but does the same thing apply to fish bones as to other meat? Can I feed her whole mackerel-type fish with heads and fins and bones?

Hi Cindy,

I have a 3 month old female Rottweiler, she was weaned onto kibble by the breeder. After reading your website (among others), I switched her onto a raw food diet and she's loving it. Best thing is to watch her open an egg for herself!

I'm a bit worried about feeding her fish. I know it's good for her, but does the same thing apply to fish bones as to other meat? That they're safe when raw, but brittle when cooked?

What I'm getting at is can I feed her whole mackerel-type fish with heads and fins and bones? Also, my fishmonger gave me some salmon heads. They have a decent amount of fish meat on them and they are dirt cheap, but can she eat them? And are they nutritionally ok? They've got quite poky teeth, should I remove them?

Thanks for a great website!!
