Is Shrimp safe for dogs?

Cooked prawns (shrimp) are safe for dogs in moderation and offer lean protein along with nutrients like vitamin B12. Serve them fully cooked, plain and unseasoned — no salt, butter, garlic or oil — and remove the shell, tail, head and vein completely, as these are a choking and obstruction hazard. Never feed raw prawns: like other raw shellfish, they can harbour harmful bacteria and parasites. Because they are relatively rich, offer only a small number as an occasional treat and introduce them gradually to check for any sensitivity.
