Well he didn't close the bag tight and I pulled it out to make dinner and I dumped over a pound of pre cooked jumbo shrimp on the kitchen floor. I had the kids pick it all up and I figured "my dogs like to eat bugs, and shrimp is nothing more than a sea going cockroach....." The question is can they safely eat shrimp and how much would be too much?

They aren't even high in mercury. I'd probably give them out a few at a time in case one has some kind of GI reaction. I'd probably keep them in a "for the dogs" freezer bag. I have two dogs who do not like them at all.

At least they comprehend part of them as food as opposed to the very funny reaction I got to trying to give them a clam.

Plopped it in a dog dish and handed it to the wonder lab who was known to eat bits of concrete if some food residue had been slopped on it. She sniffed.... licked.... picked it up... spit it out like it was made of bitter apple and barked at it like some kind of alien entity. One of my best raw food moments ever.

ANY time one of mine spits out food is a momentous occasion, and yes, clams and shrimp meat fell into that category.
