I have heard that you can't feed raw salmon/trout from the pacific northwest due to a certain parasite (I don't recall which). But as soon as the lakes open, I will have a constant source of trout (as long as I can catch them).
Will freezing kill this parasite? Soaking in something?
I am feeding my dogs raw, and starting to switch kitty over today. Can I feed other fish, like perch or catfish? The catfish are bullheads actually, and there is no limit on them.
And other than taking the spines off the bullheads, do I need to do anything to prepare the fish? Take heads off, or gut them? Or just toss kitty a dead fish (assuming I can get him to eat whole stuff), and hope for the best?
