How to Feed Shrimp to Your Dog

Cooked shrimp is safe as an occasional treat. It is low in fat and calories, high in protein, and contains vitamin B12, niacin, and phosphorus. Always cook thoroughly — raw shellfish can carry harmful bacteria. Remove the shell, tail, and vein before feeding. Some dogs may be allergic to shellfish, so introduce a small amount first and watch for reactions. Due to its cholesterol content, shrimp should be an occasional treat, not a regular food.
