Just a note. Tillipa is often farmed in China or Korea which isn't exactly known for their high quality standards when providing fish food. In fact even in this country some of the recalled dog food earlier this year entered the farmed fish food chain by being recycled into fish feed.
Old thread, but I have a fish related question. I live in New England...is there anything wrong with feeding wild caught fish from around here? My daughter loves going fishing and I won't eat it...figure might as well have a use for the fish.
Would you suggest first freezing the wild caught fish?

Should be fine. To be sure, though, you could contact your local game and fish commission.
Ask them if there are any diseases or contamination problems with local fish. If not, feed away.
Some people freeze, and some will feed fresh out of the water. Freezing at 0 degrees for 30 days will kill some parasites if they are there.(double check that before you take it as gospel:crazy Your comfort level should be the judge.
Also, if you contact your game and fish commission, don't bother telling them that you plan on feeding the fish raw to your dog.
Too big a risk of sidetracking whoever you talk to. They will surely tell you not to feed your dog raw meat. You just need to know if they are safe for human consumption.
I'm not really sure what type of fish. I have a friend that fishes and he said he'd give me some for the boys. I know that the river right by me has Atlantic Salmon, Atlantic Shad, Alewife, Blueback Herring, Striped Bass, and who knows what else.
Other than the fish that we all read and hear about not to feed (west of the cascades as mentioned in this thread) is there anything in particular to watch out for when feeding dogs? I will contact the game and fish commission to find out, but I know people eat the fish out of the river.
