Can German Shepherds Eat Scallops?


The answer is yes, german shepherds can eat scallops but only if they have been fully cooked. You can easily cook scallops for your dog by either boiling them, baking them, or even smoking them. If your dog happens to not like cooked scallops you can feed it dry scallops as an alternative.

You should never feed your dog raw uncooked scallops because they contain bacteria that can cause shellfish poisoning. Shellfish poisoning can make your dog very sick and in extreme cases can cause death. You should also never give your dog fried scallops because they contain too much fat from the grease added during the cooking process.

How Often Should A German Shepherd Eat Scallops?

A german shepherd puppy for example can be fed about 4 ounces of scallops per day without any adverse effects. According to some pet owners, after they are two years old the amount of scallops should be lowered to 2 ounces a day. However, some pet owners believe that you should give your dog only one cup of scallops per week no matter what age or size your dog is.

If you let your dog consume too much scallops at one time you may notice several signs of digestive problems. You will notice your dog gagging, heaving, or vomiting after eating too much. Your dog may also have diarrhea after eating too many scallops but all of these symptoms are non life threatening.

If you notice any severe problems after your dog has eaten scallops then you should call a veterinarian right away. The vet will determine what exactly is wrong with your dog and will then help you treat any symptoms.

Conclusion:

A German Shepherd can have scallops as a meal or a treat but it's not recommended for your dog to eat them on a regular basis. If you decide to give your dog scallops, make sure that you cook them fist to avoid shellfish poisoning.

It is best to always talk to your veterinarian before you decide to feed your dog any type of seafood. You should also talk to a veterinarian before increasing or decreasing the amount that your dog is eating.
