Dogs and cats love salmon and it’s also good for them. The oily fish is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acid, plus it can help keep their coat healthy and shiny. Making your own fancy salmon treats for dogs and cats is easy and fun with packaged wild-caught salmon and a blender. This super fun salmon mousse is a fantastic way to spoil your furry friend with a little gourmet flair, and it takes only minutes to make. No baking required!
