Can Dogs Eat Smoked Trout? – Nutrition Card

Fish is food that brings many benefits to our animals, trout in particular is characterized by having more vitamin A content and like other fish, this is rich in omega-3.

Some people are afraid to give it to their dogs because they believe it could cause them harm, however, here we explain how to add it to their diet.

Benefits

Reduces inflammation in the body

Any disease begins with inflammation, fish, especially blue fish such as trout, are recognized as collaborators in anti-inflammatory processes because they have omega-3, from which two substances are generated (protectins and resolvins) that reduce inflammation responses, so in any disease process, it is important to have this fatty acid in the diet.

Source of vitamin A

This is one of the fish richest in vitamin A, which helps in the formation and maintenance of teeth, tissues, mucous membranes and skin.

Vitamin A is also known as retinol since it produces the pigments in the retina of the eye, this vitamin favors good eyesight, especially in dim light.

Therefore, this vitamin is vital in all stages of life of our dogs, but especially when they are growing and when they are in their gerontic stage, so if you have a puppy or an old dog, ensure their intake of vitamin A. 

Recommendations

A dog is rarely allergic to fish, but to identify it, you should start feeding him small pieces of trout and see how he reacts.

You should always avoid fish bones, as they can cause gastrointestinal problems for your dog.

If your dog has obesity or diseases such as diabetes or hypothyroidism you can give trout, but not smoked because it contains more salt, in that case, it is better to bake it or just cook it.
