Re: salmon


I've never heard this, but know nothing about dogs nutrition. Only one of my cats liked salmon (tinned, people food) and she lived to 19 1/2 ! Hope someone with more knowledge will reply ......

Re: salmon


i didnt know,i only looked cus my sister is here and didnt eat all of food and just put the plate down on the floor so the dogs finished her salmon off!!!!!
the vet seems to think they should be ok because they only ate about half a fillet and it was cooked,but it got me to thinking cus salmon gourmet pearl is jerrys fave,i cant find anything on th internet to say if its ok for cats,its all about how bad it is for dogs so i assume and hopefully right,that its ok for cats

Re: salmon


As far as I am aware Salmon is fine for cats... otherwise why would they sell it in cat food.... I wouldn.t worry too much if it was going to do any harm it would have shown by now especially if this is his fave food...


Don't worry too much Jerrysmom xxxx
