Can my dog eat Tuna?

⚠️ CAUTIONOccasional cooked tuna is fine — not as a regular food.
Tuna is not toxic to dogs but is high in mercury, which accumulates in the body over time. Occasional small amounts of plain cooked tuna are fine, but it should not be a regular part of the diet. Canned tuna in water (not oil) is preferable. Avoid tuna packed in brine.
