Hey there! No worries, your question isn’t dumb at all. Lots of people wonder about sharing their grilled goodies with their furry friends! The good news is that dogs can eat salmon skin in moderation, and it can actually be a nice treat for them. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
Make sure the salmon skin is cooked thoroughly and unseasoned; spices and excess oils can upset a dog’s stomach. Also, avoid giving skin from raw or undercooked salmon, as this can carry parasites that are harmful to dogs.
Watch for anything unusual after Luna snacks on the skin. Symptoms to keep an eye on include:
If you notice any of these symptoms, it might be a sign of an upset stomach or something more serious. Small amounts of plain, cooked salmon skin are generally safe, but excessive amounts could lead to digestive issues because of the fat content.
If Luna shows mild symptoms, keep an eye on her, and make sure she has access to plenty of water. If she’s looking good after a few hours, she’s probably just fine.
Definitely call a vet if her symptoms are severe, last more than 24 hours, or if she’s showing signs of distress like difficulty breathing or extreme lethargy.
Otherwise, enjoy your time on the couch with Luna. It sounds like you're having a nice, relaxing evening!
If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
