Tuna

[Lost in LOS]

i just read something that you shouldnt give tuna to dogs or cats, sounds strange, especially since cat food has tuna. i give both canned tuna each morning. Has anyone information on this?

thanks in advance

I hope it is OK as I just gave my two dogs tuna for dinner.

I can't recall I've heard that tuna isn't good to give, other than the way they are caught killing loads of dolphins. At least, if there not a special mention on the label about the dolphins. Furthermore, it is best to give all the contents of the fish, whle in canned tuna it's only the meat. becaue of this it's even more important to provide the animal with a various diet of diffrent kinds of prteins, and that contains meat as well as bones (meal), organs etc.

I did, however, recall vaguely something about salmon, that it can be dangerous. But the exact details ... ??? I think I need to change my diet, and drink lots of green tea and eat broccoli or something

I was surprised to see your post labeling tuna unsafe. I did some internet searching and it seems some believe that tuna contains a high mercury content which would be unsafe to eat. Other sources said tuna was a very good food to give to dogs.

My 3 house dogs split a can of tuna about 3-4 times per week and I seen only benefits from it. Here's a link showing fish mercury levels:

Man, it's always something, isn't it?
