Hiya
Dylan is now 19 weeks old & doing really well. I feed him on Royal Canin which is what he's always been fed. The trouble is he wont eat it without tuna on it! I've tried chicken & cheese, microwaving it to bring the oils out, but he just loves it with tuna in oil on it, just a spoonful to coat it. I just wondered if it would be doing him any harm, at this rate he'll be developing fins lolol

My Bichon lived until the age of 17 and he had tuna mixed in with his dinner nearly everyday of his life, he never had any serious health problems, you just have to be prepared for the fishy breath!!

Bet Dylan has a lovely shiny coat though! :)

He does have a shiny coat, though hes turning into a bit of a teddy bear as it gets longer. (He's a cocker.) I know what you mean by the fishy breath, why do they always come & lick you just after they've eaten ewwww lol

Could you wean him off using tuna in brine? Eventually you could just sprinkle his food with salted water!!!!

Dogs do not tolerate salt very well & it should not be added to any food. Adding a little tuna in oil or plain water water is fine But please do not add salt to any food

I wouldnt add tuna in brine, I never fancy that for my self never mind the dog lol. Nope it has to be Asdas tuna in oil.

hope its dolphin friendly!! :)

Rinsing tuna in brine would remove lots of the salt and would leave the 'meat'. I wasn't suggesting this as a long term thing, just as a possible solution to a problem. I am fully aware that dogs shouldn't have salt and wasn't really serious in my suggestion to just eventually add the salted water (it was just a tongue in cheek comment). I don't like Butchers Tripe and have never smelled anything so awful but my dogs love it!

Rinsing the tuna would remove the salt from the liquid but not from the actual fish(I'm on a low salt diet so I have been advised this by my dietician)there's no problem giving dogs tuna in oil or plain water Just not in brine

hi, i am feeding suki,5 and a half month old akita-inu on royal canin giant puppy,and i give her a tin of tuna and oil in her meals every day and she is doing fine.

Just out of ineterest - do you all drain the oil off first or give that aswell? I tend to drain some of the oil, but not sure if this is right?

When I use tuna I leave the oil in ...Hudson LOVES sardines in tomato and I leave the tomato in too. I will not feed any fish that is tinned in brine
