Yes they are an excellent source of Glucosamine AND Chondroitin. Beef trachea & shark cartilidge are also excellent sources of glucosamine & chondrotin. Glu. & Chon. are both great for all sorts of joint & mobility problems & to aid in the prevention of problems that may occur later in life with larger and/or more active breeds & the like.Originally Posted by anna_66
I used to get them from one of my butchers (which would cost between .89-$1.39/lb depending on what butcher I got them from & if they had to order them or not) but I recently found someone better. He usually proccesses dear and other game animals for the public but one of his good friends owns an organic chicken farm & he helps him butcher his chickens, which averages out to be about 100/month. They save me all the feet, for FREE! (he will soon be giving me the scraps to all the game animals he proccesses as well as an occassional pig(s) & cow(s) that his family butchers for their own private use) Granted I have to drive almost an hour one way to get them but it's worth it. (I get to visit my Grandmother & Uncle as well as they live in the area).
I am not sure, I've never heard of the fish. But I did google it & found that people eat it, cooked, smoked & even raw in sushi.Originally Posted by Kfamr

I would say that if people can eat it raw dogs should more than able to as well. If it were me I'd feed it (of course after it is frozen for a few days just to be on the safe side).
Just please remember that dogs need a lot of other meats with their diet. Fish should not be in every meal.
