Fish? Absolutely! This cuts down on fish oil capsule supplements! Here's a link to the Environmental Defense Fund's website where you can check out which fish has high/low mercury levels and there's also a list of best and complete fish oil capsule brands;

As with all prey model foods, the raw, WHOLE form is best to feed, no need to debone/gut the fish! I feed fish all the time (about once a week) as my hubby and son go fishing every Sunday. I take the whole fish, the way it was caught and toss it to my pack of 3 so they can go to town on it as a team! If you want to feed salmon, I would stick with wild Alaskan salmon, but make sure to freeze it for a week or so first! Tilapia is available to me cheap, so I feed that often! Farmed Trout is a good choice as well. Atlantic Herring and often on sale; shrimp! But before you go out and stock up on seafood sales; some dogs take a while to like fish and might straight out refuse it for the fist couple of times! You can try and get your dogs used to the smell/flavor by buying some freeze dried salmon treats. I like this brand:

I was thinking of trying salmon first to see if they like it. What other fish can I try? |
