Can dogs eat boiled shrimp?

Dogs can eat boiled shrimp, but the heads must be peeled off to prevent the hard shells from scratching the dog's gastrointestinal tract. Shrimp contains a lot of protein and other nutrients, which is very suitable for dogs to eat, but it cannot be used as a staple food. After all, shrimp meat is cold and eating too much can cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Tip:

Most of the food we humans eat is not suitable for dogs. Dogs should eat simpler meals.
