How to Feed Tuna to Your Dog

Cooked tuna is safe for dogs in moderation. It is high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. However, tuna accumulates mercury over its lifespan more than other fish, so it should be an occasional treat rather than a regular part of the diet. Canned tuna in water (not oil or brine) is convenient — choose chunk light tuna which has less mercury than albacore. Avoid raw tuna and never feed tuna seasoned or prepared with onions or garlic.
