Can dogs eat shrimp?

Dogs can eat shrimp. Shrimp is rich in protein and calcium, which can promote the growth and development of dogs. However, you should not feed your dog too much shrimp at one time. Just eat a little occasionally. This is because the salt content of shrimp is relatively high, which will easily increase the burden on the dog's body after eating it. Moreover, shrimp contains phosphorus, and excessive intake of shrimp may cause serious health problems for dogs. Poisoning occurs.

Tips:

Shrimp may contain parasites, so it needs to be cooked in water before being eaten by dogs.
