So I was cleaning out my freezer today and came across some catfish that's been in there for a little over a year now. I kind of wanted to cook and dehydrate to make it into treats for my dog and cat, but I'm not sure If I would be pushing it. What do you think?

Here's a general safety chart for you which unfortunately doesn't include fish, but it may be useful in the future. Frozen food remains safe indefinitely. It's more of a quality issue because of the freezer burn. I would evaluate it once it thaws to see if it still seems fine, but as a general rule, I would have no issues with cooking and dehydrating it for my pets.
