Is uncooked salmon from the grocery store safe for my dog to eat?

Question

Is it safe to feed a German shepherd an uncooked frozen salmon fillet? Purchased it from a local grocery market and I have been freezing for 24hrs.

No, it's not safe to feed your dog uncooked salmon. Raw salmon can contain parasites and/or bacteria that can be harmful to dogs, and so they should never be fed raw fish. You may give it to her cooked, and make sure all of the bones are removed. I would only give her a small amount, as new foods can cause GI upset in dogs.
