Proceed with caution on this one. It will be case-by-case, depending on the full ingredients of the sushi. To be safest, make sure that the sushi that you will feed your dog is fully cooked.

Sushi with raw fish can be harmful to your pup. It is because raw fish may be contaminated with deadly bacteria, parasites, tapeworms, roundworms, and flukes. When your pooch ingests contaminated raw fish, they can acquire salmonella and listeria, which are bacterial diseases that can weaken your dog’s immune system. 

But if you can’t resist sharing your sushi meal with your pooch, just make sure to take out the raw meat part. Also, aside from the raw fish, there may be ingredients in the sushi that are not dog-friendly, like, for example, wasabi. 

Spices are also not advisable for dogs. So, to avoid risking your pup’s health, either don’t give your dog sushi or prepare a dog-friendly version that you and your pet can both enjoy.

To ensure your pet will live a long and healthy life, it is always a good idea to invest in pet health insurance. Preparing for the unexpected guarantees money is never an issue in keeping you pup healthy.
