The best thing to do is to just <b>dispose of any shells in a safe manner and never feed them to your dog or any of your pets.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_dogs_eat_dead_crabs\"><\/span>Can dogs eat dead crabs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Other things dog-owners should watch for: <b>Dogs can get sick from eating dead fish, crabs, or even bird feces, Wismer said. If a dog ingests dead animals, or feces found on the beach, they may need fluids and antibiotics, depending on what and how much was ingested. In some areas, jellyfish can show up in the water.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_crab_meat_bad_for_dogs\"><\/span>Is crab meat bad for dogs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Yes!

However, shrimp are high in cholesterol.

Plain salmon is fine but when this nutrient-rich fish is smoked, it&#8217;s too salty for your dog.
