I am wondering if OES is good in Fish diet? Currently, I am trying to feed a little portion of Raw Salmon about 10g to my OES, he still can manage it. However once I over the 10g, he will get diarrea. I am not sure he is allergic or OES is not much suitable on fish diet. Any experience guys, please advise Thanks Ranger |

Are you sure about your salmon source?? Read the above. Also salmon is oily, maybe too rich for your guy. |
Any good fish recommendation for OES breed? Especially in RAW. |
Well not raw but I do feed caned Tuna in springwater and Caned Sardines in springwater.. |

Mackerel. I cut the frozen fish up into peices for my boy but its the only thing my girl eats raw! she loves the heads and tails - go figure. I bought a bulk order and defrost as needed. its low in mercury and other than being smelly good for them. |
My boys have fish in their diet but it's cooked salmon.
It made a noticable difference in Panda's coat as when he arrived his coat was yellow and the skin underneath was flaky. It's improved, as has all my foster cats fur who have a diet rich with salmon. I've cut back now on the salmon for the dogs but the cats have beautiful luxerious coats due to a heavy fish diet. However, cats have different diet requirements than dogs. Cats need a protein called Taurine in their diet, as without it they would die. In a nutshell, a cat can never be a vegetarian while it's possible with a dog. However, very few dog owners (myself included) do not have vegetarian dogs. However, I'm going off the topic. I personally think a varied diet is good but always in moderation. Marianne |

Marianne I remeber reading somewhere about a new awareness about the need for Taurine in dogs as well......... |
Good advice Kerry! I did a search on the net and found this info regarding Taurine in a dogs diet. It's good reading and informative, giving people a better understanding of what Taurine is.

Oliver doesn't eat fish, but he eats food that is high in Omega-3, and I have to agree, it makes a HUGE difference in coat and skin. |
