Cats and dogs here eat any fish, raw or cooked; same with chicken, beef, you name it! No one's been sick for as much as a day.
Sarah, here in B.C., it is usually stated on the packaging if it is wild or farmed. If it isn't I ask and if the store doesn't know then I don't buy it.

I wouldn't take the chance of feeding the Pacific wild salmon to your dogs raw though. Did you read the website I posted?

Yes, B.C. is swarming with fish farms and it's the governments fault. And, it's the fish farms that are causing all the problems with the wild species.
