On our dinner tables, shrimp is a very common seafood and also one of the foods dog owners are most likely to feed their dogs. Although dog owners mean well, your dog may not be able to withstand the harm these foods can cause. Therefore, the PetsZone editor will use shrimp as an example to explain in detail here.

Many dog owners, when preparing dog food for their pets, will notice that many imported dog foods mostly use salmon, trout, and other sea fish as ingredients, so they assume dogs can eat seafood. But this idea is a misconception. Seafood is only suitable for some dogs; a large portion of dogs are actually allergic to seafood, especially shrimp. Once they accidentally eat shrimp, they will experience vomiting and diarrhea. Attentive dog owners can also check commercial dog food cans. Although some dog foods contain shrimp, shrimp is definitely not the main ingredient; it only accounts for a small portion. So from these dog food cans, we can know that shrimp is actually not suitable food for dogs. If you must feed your dog shrimp, it should only be in small amounts. Eating too much and harming your beloved pet may lead to regret for the dog owner.

Additionally, since most seafood comes from the ocean, it naturally contains relatively high salt levels, and overly salty food itself is not good for dogs’ health!
