My dad is an avid fisherman, and recently I decided that the fish heads might be a nutritious thing to feed Dewey (along with his other food...not only fish heads!)
I was just wondering... has anyone tried it?
Good idea? Bad idea?
I was really unsure because out of all the reading I've done on the raw diet, nobody mentions fish heads (or raw fish in general)
If the fish are safe for you, they are safe for them. And double triple quadruple check for hooks.
Other than that, pay attention to how they fit in the diet as far as meat:bone. I've never fed fish heads only, so don't know where you'd start. I'd guess they are pretty boney.

Yes, the (raw) salmon poisoning issue probably should be said, I agree, in every fish thread.
The danger from Pacific Northwest raw salmon is species-specific (humans are not vulnerable to the salmon-poisoning dogs can contract).
It's broader than just salmon, too: it's salmonids. So if the fish swims upstream to spawn and came from the Pacific Northwest, then the raw fish isn't safe for dogs.
Oh yes! I live about a mile away from Lake Michigan, so they would be fresh water fish...bass, blue gill, sun fish, walleye, perch... I had no idea about the salmon poisoning though! Good to know! I'll have to make sure to tell my dad not to save any of them...
