Is it safe to feed my poodle tuna?

• Is it safe to feed my poodle tuna? mickeyboo Posted : 2/18/2009 4:23:50 PM I had one steak of tuna in the freezer and decided to grill it for my poodle. She loved it, but I didnt' feed her the whole steak at once. I feed her about 2 tablespoon of tuna each day for the last 3 days. I'm just wondering if it's harmful to feed dogs tuna due to mercury level. I still have quite a bit of tuna and thinking I should throw it away.  Thanks for your help.

• JoAnnDe Posted : 2/20/2009 11:11:14 PM If this is a one time thing I wouldn't worry too much, but I'd try and space it out as much as possible.    Cut the remainder into pieces that you would use for a meal (ie: 2 tablespoon portions) and freeze it on wax paper.   When its frozen transfer to a plastic freezer bag.   You can then take out one meals worth whenever you want. I don't feed my dog tuna at all.   She does get lots of fresh fish but I tend to stick with smaller fish that don't build up contaminants (jack mackeral, sardines - find them in water with no added salt).      0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
