Can cats or dogs eat crab?
Cats: Be careful · Dogs: Be careful — Purely boiled crab meat. You can taste a little. But the shell must be removed completely because the hard shell hurts the digestive tract. Do not allow raw or pickled crabs to be in the Somtam. Both are extremely salty and at risk of parasites. Crab sticks are processed and salty. Not real crab meat Give only cooked and carved crab meat. Just a little at a time If eating pickled crab, watch for signs of vomiting or diarrhea and consult a veterinarian.
