CAN DOGS EAT SALMON?

Salmon is a great food for dogs. It's great for a shiny coat with it's high content of omega-3 fatty acids and is a great protein source. Salmon helps with inflammation and can help with skin irritiations.

The salmon must be cooked and ensure that you remove any fish bones before serving it. Boneless salmon fillets are a great option. Raw salmon should not be given to dogs.

The skin can be high in fats so keep it as a special treat.

Remember to go slowly when introducing new foods. And we recommend checking with your veterinarian first if your dog has any digestive issues or other health concerns.

HOW TO COOK SALMON FOR DOGS

Salmon can be poached, grilled, baked, roasted or steamed for your homemade dog food. For this recipes I roasted the salmon as I wanted to ensure that it was thoroughly cooked through.

There are no seasonings added to the salmon as you are cooking for your dog, not yourself!

SALMON DOG FOOD RECIPE INGREDIENTS

For this homemade dog food recipe I used:

  • Salmon Fillet
  • Brown Rice
  • Frozen Peas
  • Homemade Pumpkin Puree
  • Frozen Spinach
salmon dog food ingredients

STORAGE

Keep the salmon dog food recipe in the fridge, in an air tight container. It should last up to 3 days in the fridge.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use canned salmon?

Canned salmon can be used in place of fresh salmon in this recipe. Ensure that the tinned salmon is in water, not oil.

Can this recipe be frozen?

Once the dog food has been cooked, allow it to completely cool before freezing. Store in an air tight container or zip lock bags and it should last in the freezer for 2 months.

        I'd say between 2 to 3 cups a day but I'd double check with your vet as it can vary between breeds.

      Of course. Either replace it with another vegetable or omit it entirely.

    I am wondering with this recipe, if there should be any other additives or any vitamins or anything? I have a French bull dog puppy and am wanting to do some some cooked meals for her. But wondering what other additives should be in the food.

      I sometimes add hempseed hearts, ground eggshells and turmeric to their dinner but you should check with your vet too!
