Is it okay to give seafood? I don't mean all the time but sometimes we buy shrimps and I wonder if it's okay to give it to them. I'd cook it first.
Are there certain meat that we shouldn't give them?[/B]

I've never offered shrimp to my dogs but I haven't read anything that says that it's harmful. Of course you wouldn't give it to your dog if it was seasoned, breaded, or fried. Just like people, some dogs can be allergic to certain foods, possibly shellfish. If you did want to try to give it your baby, I would offer a very small piece.
As for certain meats that you shouldn't give your dog, anything that is processed could cause problems, like sausage, lunchmeat injected with sodium, ham is definitely a no-no. Some dogs can tolerate pork but it is more difficult to digest than other sources of protein. I would avoid anything that is too fatty to avoid your dog becoming ill with pancreatitis.
