Salmon (cooked): Safe for Dogs and Cats?
SafeDogs
Thoroughly cooked, boneless, unseasoned salmon is a safe, omega-3-rich protein for dogs; thorough cooking is what makes it safe compared to raw salmon.
Safe serving: Cooked to a safe internal temperature, boneless, unseasoned, given as an occasional protein source rather than daily staple
SafeCats
Plain, fully cooked, boneless salmon is safe for cats and a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Safe serving: Cooked thoroughly, boneless, unseasoned, fed occasionally rather than as a dietary staple
