Can cats eat raw salmon?
If your cat has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.
Why
Raw salmon contains an enzyme that destroys thiamine, a vital nutrient for cats, which can lead to severe neurological issues. It also carries a high risk of bacterial contamination and parasites that can cause life-threatening illness.
Watch out for
- raw or undercooked fish
- smoked salmon (often too salty)
- salmon with bones
