The California Department of Fish & Wildlife warns dog owners to keep their pets away from uncooked trout and salmon due to a parasitic flatworm called Nanophyetes salmincola. This parasite can cause a potentially fatal disease in dogs known as salmon poisoning disease. Symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting, and rapid weight loss. Infected dogs should be taken to a veterinarian immediately. The parasite is prevalent in Northern California, especially in Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, and other counties. Dogs should also be kept away from raw salmon, steelhead, and other freshwater fish. Cooking fish thoroughly kills the parasite.
