Hi there. I was wondering what kind of fish Layla could eat? She's allergic to chicken and was thinking of feeding her Cod fish. Is Cod fish okay for dogs? What other kind of fish would be good for her? Many thanks!

Yes, dogs can eat cod. Cod is considered one of the "white fish" that is very commonly used in food for dogs that have allergies. In general, dogs can have any kind of fish, but cod, salmon, trout and catfish are the ones most commonly used in dog foods. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question.
