forliano Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 G'day all... Just a quickie... Anybody know whether it is safe for animals to eat sharks? Like if I was to cut some steaks up for the dogs will they be alright or will the mercury affect them the same as us humans? Cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tan the fisherman Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 G'day ben, I think it depends on the size and age of the shark. The older and larger the more mercury may be present. Happy for raiders to correct my understanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah mate, I am gonna get his mummy and daddy for letting him do that Just a bit curious as I got some big chunks in the freezer and not sure whether or not the dogs could have them...

BalmainBob Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Gday Ben, As long as you dont intend to feed them on shark all the time an occasional feed of shark every few weeks should not do any harm. Its just like eating fish west of the bridge, eat it every day and you may have problems latter on, have it every now and then you are ok.

WANNAFISH Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 When I was a kid i fed my dog some cooked bull shark meat. Few days later my dog was loosing hair until my dog was completly bald and died. I dont know if its an allergic reaction. I should have listen to my uncle.

Jason Sunn Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi Raiders, I usually follow a rule of thumb to not eat any shark over about 1.5m long. Just to be safe. Cheers Sunnboy1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
