I wouldn't give my dogs tuna because if you do some research you will find that a pregnant woman should not consume tuna on a regular basis because of the mercury content which might cause autism in children. Mercury is now being thought to cause autism which, up until recently, was also used in childhood immunizations as a preservative. They think autism has increased because the number of immunizations for children have increased which subjects them to more mercury. If you have an infant receiving immunizations you should request mercury free shots because they are still on the shelf and our government has decided to use them up rather than throwing them out! Probably small amounts would not cause any problems with dogs, but why risk it. |
