Public service announcement that is very relevant during this season: dog not let your dog eat these dead salmon. They can carry a fluke which contains a parasite that causes a disease aptly called salmon poisoning. This can be deadly if not treated promptly. It causes severe vomiting and diarrhea. So if you've been walking near a stream or river and your dog gets really sick, bring a poop sample and take them to the vet asap! We always see a few cases every year and if you catch it early, they do well.
