    With making your own raw food, you have control and know exactly what goes into it. Most pre-made raw foods have fillers, etc. after all they have to make a profit.

    With the salmon heads, I wonder if they would be safer cooked? That would destroy the parasite. As Jack said, it is a dangerous one to dogs.
    Common sense isn't so common these days.

    Thnx Jack, i took the menu of the pbb and indeed left out the egg. Tomorrow for sure !
    By the way, that was a question i wanted to ask, can you give an egg everyday ?

    Yes, of course. Soft-boiled.

    Alright Jack, thnx for the reply. So the meal was complete today. I'm going to keep him on this standard meal for a longer period of time, mixing it up ( different vegetables ) and having one fish day a week. ( salmon heads on Saturdays mostly ). See what it does. Thnx for all input also, great members on this board !

    You're welcome.

    Be careful with salmon though, as raw salmon meat can contain both a liver worm (Nanophyetus salmincola), which is also very tough to eradicate as it takes much higher drug dosages to kill, as well as a protozoan parasite (Neorickettsia helminthoeca), which is almost always fatal to a dog. In fact, the aforementioned worm is often the host of the deadly Neorickettsia protozoa ... which apparently is only detrimental to dogs and no other species.

    Jack, is that one of them possible but not probable things ?

    I get the salmon heads on the local market. I Give them every now and than now, but could easily arrange to have them each week.
    Any tips on other types of fish that i can switch things up with ? Members also please share your toughts.

    Touché

    But, all comedy aside, I do not know enough to comment. If I recall, the dangerous salmon was from the Pacific Northwest mainly, but I would have to do a research again to confirm.

    I give jack mackerel to my dogs on occasion. Sadly, though, out of a can.
