Hi there! Superman and batman for halloween- I love it! Very cute. A small tiny bit of cooked shellfish should be okay, but I would advise against raw shellfish/fish as there are parasites and bacteria in them that could make them both sick. Hope this helps and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
