The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is reminding all Golden State residents to take precautions to protect their dogs from a potentially fatal disease caused by raw fish.
According to CDFW officials, salmon poisoning disease can be fatal in dogs after they eat certain types of raw or cold-smoked fish like trout or salmon. |

All fish caught or originating from streams in California could potentially be affected, CDFW warns.
Earlier this month, the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control issued an animal health advisory after four dogs tested positive for the potentially deadly bacterial disease. |
