Shrimp

My family would like to give our shepherd/husky mix a bit of fresh cooked shrimp. Is this okay?

Gail, a small amount of cooked shellfish, such as lobster or shrimp, should not pose a problem for a healthy dog. However, any pet can get an upset stomach from consuming foods that are not part of his or her normal diet. So if your dog exhibits vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal discomfort, discontinue offering the shellfish, and contact your vet if the signs become persistent.
