* Bones: Trout have many fine bones that can easily splinter and lodge in your dog's throat or digestive system, causing choking, internal injuries, and potentially even death.
* Parasites: Raw fish often contain parasites that can be harmful to dogs, leading to illness.
* Nutritional Imbalance: While a small amount of trout might not cause immediate harm, it's not a balanced meal for a dog and can lead to nutritional deficiencies over time.
Instead of giving your dog trout, stick to safe and healthy dog food options. If you want to offer your dog a treat, there are many commercially available dog treats made specifically for them.
If you suspect your dog has eaten trout and is showing signs of illness, contact your veterinarian immediately.
