It’s a question that many dog owners have asked, and it’s one that deserves an answer. The answer, of course, is yes, but there are things you should know about the two together. Here are some things you should consider before feeding your dog the meat of crabs, why they shouldn’t be part of their regular diet, and how much you should feed your dog if you want to give them a taste of this delicacy.

Here are some benefits of feeding your dog crab: 

• Good source of Omega 3 
• Good source of B12 and zinc 
• Ward off heart disease 
• Improve kidney functions 

Risks of feeding your dog crab meat: 

• Raw crab meat can contain intestinal parasite 
• Crabs outer shell is sharp and can cause tears in their gastrointestinal tract 
• Some dogs can be allergic to crab (just like humans!)
• Crabs are high in sodium
