Troy,

Perhaps you can be of some help in this discussion.  Would you mind asking 
all those vets your family with if any of them know the scoop on this?  I 
have always been told no raw salmon for dogs, but I have lived on the 
"lower" west coast most of my life.

I don't know about cats...  But if it's a PNW thing only in the fish 
because of cold water as apposed to our warmer waters here like Renee 
indicates it might be then who knows?  Just pray you guys don't have a 
glacier melt down huh?
