    Maybe you could put it in your bath as a special "eau de seaside" fragrance.

    (I guess it would work if you were making a fish risotto or pasta. )

    I have 3 dogs and they love it on their food, I'm not entirely sure it's good for them.

    it would work as a weedkiller
    but would probably make what you poured it on unusually attractive to cats
    or
    you could make a swimming pool for suicidal slugs out of it

    Our cats love it, but we use the tuna in spring water so not too salty xx

    Or an eau de fanny... classy pmsl.... femfresh was invented to prevent such pongs!!

    ingesting it at all, animal or human will be incredibly bad for the kidneys and genera hydration.. saline poisoning is a horrible illness and very easy to contract! I am horrified anyone would suggest feeding it to pets!

    Well when she starts being wobbly and fitting and her brain swells and she dies and you get the vet bill.. be really pleased you fed her salt water! The chances are she has the salt water then goes outside and is sick until it is out of her system because it is the bodys natural response to get rid of ingested poisons.

    Try having a swig of it yourself!!

    Saline solution (20% salt) is still used in some places to perform late abortions.

    You can brine fish before smoking it. So I presume you could use it for that.


    Wouldn't it make your Rizzlas soggy?

    Far too high in salt for a cat.
