I love fishing for catfish. Part of that is catching your own bait. The dog loves fresh shad. She will eat as many as she can get and its hard to stop her. Is there any reason they're not healthy for a dog to eat?
Raw meat and raw fish, like raw eggs, can contain bacteria that causes food poisoning. In addition, certain kinds of fish such as salmon, trout, shad, or sturgeon can contain a parasite that causes "fish disease" or "salmon poisoning disease." If not treated, the disease can be fatal within 2 weeks. The first signs of illness are vomiting, fever, and big lymph nodes. Thoroughly cooking the fish will kill the parasite and protect your dog.
Sushi is not made from fresh water fish. I don't know of anyplace that serves raw eggs or totally raw meat.
Steak tartare? Has both raw eggs and raw meat. Plus plenty of salmon sushi out there, I think. I don't eat sushi with fish in it, though, so I don't know.
Like I said, I don't know of anyplace that sells raw eggs or raw meat. But then I don't know of too many Tatars around here. Salmon live almost their entire lives in salt water. I eat smoked salmon nigiri or sashimi, but that is not sushi.
No, it wont hurt your dog. I drink raw eggs often. The myth that you will get salmonella from raw eggs is simply not true if you wash the shell good. Of course the eggs are pasteurized to washing is really needed but I still do.
