Can dogs eat shrimp shells?
Dogs eat their own poop. Shrimp shells are better than poop. Do the math.
Urgent my dog ate shrimp shells!!?
Shrimp shells are just chitin (the same stuff beetles shells are made of) a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose...they will just make your dog poop abundantly if he/she does not eat them regularly. (Glucosamine levels are high in crab and shrimp shells, and since the shells are "by-products" in crab & shrimp preparation they are often sold to be made into supplements for dogs....)
Can dogs eat fried shrimps?
They can, but that doesn't mean that they should. First of all, if you're going to give your dog shrimp, it's better if he doesn't eat it fried. Secondly, shrimp contains small amounts of iodine and anyone, people and dogs alike alike cananot eat shellfish because of the iodine it contains. I used to love shrimp, but can't eat it anymore because I'm allergic to it.
My dog just ate 10 raw shrimp. These are the kind that are NOT precooked. What should we do?
The shrimp won't cause your dog any sort of problem at all. Dogs are designed to consume raw meats. What may cause an issue is the shell and tail of the shrimps if your breed is a toy breed. The shells and tails can back up a small dog but if your dog is larger then the shells and tails will not cause a problem at all. No need to go to the vet on this one but if you do have a toy breed, then just be aware of your dog's GI habits over the next couple of days. Good luck!
What should I do if a dog eats chocolate?
Chocolate is toxic to dogs. The darker it is, the more toxic it is.My dog recently ate my entire birthday rocky road which was made from sugar, dark chocolate, marshmallows, dairy chocolate etc. I was convinced she was going to die and my vets was closed.Prior to that a couple of years ago, she ate an entire chocolate Guinness cake and nearly died. Luckily, she vomited most of that up and on the advice of a very sleepy on call vet, we nursed her through the night and she was very very sick, but she was just fine after a couple of days.However, I read online that vets will often give dogs activated charcoal in order to absorb the toxins from the chocolate. I take Activated Charcoal and was able to give her a fair amount (I got the amount from a charcoal / dog calculator) in some pieces of ham and she was completely fine within a couple of hours! This time around with the rocky road, she didn’t vomit at all so I was even more worried. I did find that with the Charcoal, the results were very fast and she drank huge amounts of water to compensate for it but the next day, apart from a HUGE poo, she was non the wiser for it!My advice is to keep Activated Charcoal in the house for if your dog ingests anything they shouldn’t. It could be the difference between life and death if you are unable to get to the vets for any reason or if they are already looking very ill. Make sure you give them lots and lots of water and have a source next to them to drink through the night. Activated Charcoal is completely harmless and absorbs the bad things in the stomach and gut to ensure it all doesn’t reach the blood stream. You need to give a fair enough so look for AC that has the highest content otherwise you can be there for a long time opening capsules and giving them to the dog and it’s a very messy business.When and how to use activated charcoalCan I Give My Dog Activated Charcoal?My dog is 13, she can barely jump up on the sofa and has to be carried up the stairs to bed every night. But when chocolate is involved, she goes full on ninja dog. We are still scratching our heads to this day as to how in the hell she managed to get both the cake and the rocky road as they were, as we thought, completely impossible for her to reach. But when a dog wants something and you aren’t home, you’d be surprised at the lengths they’d go to get it so keep things out of reach!

Will small amount of shrimp hurt a dog?
If she ate one that is fine. She will most likely not get sick. If anything, she will just throw it up... I would not recommend feeding her the shrimp on a daily basis. Cooked food overall is bad for dogs. When you cook the food, it looses the essential vitamins that a dog needs to properly digest it. Unless your dog has been eating raw foods, I would not recommend to start. It can cause a lot of upset stomachs and vomiting. One time thing, you beloved Shih-Tzu will be fine!
