You and your dog just finished watching Forrest Gump. He is obsessed with Bubba and can’t wait to visit his world famous restaurant chain. Can even have shrimp?

Yes! Well maybe not cooked how Bubba might! Shrimp for your pup should be peeled and steamed without butter, oil or seasoning. Dogs should not eat human seasonings, it can make them ill. Breaded or fried shrimp should not be given to a dog. 

Shrimp is a good low fat protein alternative for your pup. They have antioxidants. They promote healthy bone growth. They are also good for your pup’s metabolism. 

Shrimp are also high in cholesterol. So keep in mind how often you are feeding them to your pup. High cholesterol can lead to other health concerns.
