Miss Mary,

The biggest problem is salmon is the oil. This includes all salmon. Farm-raised salmon is high in many things and dangerous for all animals, including humans. But there's no threat in farm raised salmon that is unique to dogs.

I know cats can, lol. I hate to say it but in my younger days we put a cat or two in a small inclosed area and blew a fair amount of smoke in. When they came out you could tell they were definitly inhaling, :lol:

The main threat is from eating it. Marijuana dangerously suppresses the nervous systems in dogs. I think inhaling it basically just makes animals high.

I myself don't give my pets people food. Now my husband is a different story but he'll just give them itty bitty pieces. My cat turns her nose up at people food so i don't have to worry about her.

My husband too! I have caught him numerous times throwing chips to the three inside dogs! :roll: He does it alot too apparently, because when he is going to snack on chips he has to go on the porch to eat them. If not, he has to listen to whooping and whining.

Regit - thanks for the list and for confirming why salmon should be avoided for pets. This warning was in a newspaper article a year or so ago. About the same time mercury was found to be high in farm raised salmon. So like Ed, I began to wonder if it was safe for us to eat several times a week. It is very reasonable at Kroger's and then you glance over at the wild caught salmon's price per pound, often triple or more difference. As a general rule I look for wild caught first. To wrap up this salmon debate, I prepared farm raised a few months ago, figuring it had been a while since we had eaten it. My family raved about it. So delicious they said! I had to admit it was good. But did you all also know they inject the red color, to make it more appealing to the consumer? Wild caught is naturally red. Yikes!

Again, thanks for the list.

Mary
