Can cats eat cooked fish?

Also called: fish, salmon, cooked salmon, white fish, cod, sardines, seafood, prawns

Safe

Plain, cooked and boneless, as an occasional treat. Not tuna as a regular food.

Yes, a little plain cooked fish is a treat cats often enjoy. Remove the bones and skip seasoning. Don't feed canned fish meant for people regularly.

How to offer it

Cook it thoroughly and serve it plain, with no seasoning and no bones.

Keep in mind

Keep treats to a small share of what your cat eats (up to 10% of daily calories).
Avoid canned fish products meant for people as a regular food.
Never raw: raw fish destroys thiamine, a vitamin cats need.

When to call a vet

If your cat has a medical condition or eats a special diet, check with your vet before giving treats.
