This article is about whether or not dogs can eat scallops. The answer is that it depends on the type of scallop.

What Are Scallops?
Scallops are a type of shellfish that is often served as an appetizer or main course. They come in many different shapes and sizes, but all of them have a similar body shape: two halves that hinge together.
Scallops are usually harvested by dragging a heavy net across the ocean floor. Scallops live on the ocean floor and can be found in all oceans around the world. They can be harvested at any time of year, but they are more plentiful during fall and winter months because they spawn at those times.
Can Puppies Eat Scallops?
In the last few years, there has been a trend in pet food that is changing the way we feed our animals. The trend is to provide pets with more natural foods that are closer to what they would eat in the wild. This has led to some common misconceptions about what pets should and shouldn’t eat.
With that being said, puppies should not eat scallops whether they are raw or cooked because they have more sensitive stomachs than adult dogs.
What To Do If Your Dog Eats A Raw Scallop?
The first step is to try and find out if the scallop was whole or broken into pieces. If it was whole, then some of the shell might have been ingested as well and needs to be removed from their stomach as soon as possible. If it was broken into pieces, then there is a chance that some of the scallop will come out in their stool. In this case, you should keep an eye on them for any signs of vomiting or diarrhea and call your vet if they happen.
But the best advise would be to call your vet or animal poison control center. They will be able to give you the best advice on what to do.
