Is it okay for a dog to eat a hermit crab?

Answer 1

There are several dozen foods that are perfectly fine for humans but very bad for dogs/animals. Normal fish, If fed exclusively or in high amounts, can result in a thiamine (a B vitamin) deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizures, and in severe cases, death. Lobster is a shell fish; not quite the same but it's better not to risk fido's life for a tasty treat. A tiny bit of anything now and then (even chocolate or grapes) won't kill them depending on the size of the animal but their food is based on their dietary needs for a reason.
