Can dogs eat mealworms?
Yea, weird idea, but DH has been thinking about raising mealworms since he's read so much about how they are eaten as a snack in other countries and it got him wondering if they could ever be a protein for dog food. I promised I'd ask you guys.... LOL

I don't see why not...
I just gave one to Webster. He gulped it down. I'll let you know if he turns green or something  ETA: I don't think I would really be tempted to use them as a significant part of their diet though lol. It just seems like it would give them runny stools...but I imagine any dog that eats dry dog food with grains eats mealworms (albeit processed ones) even if they don't realize it.

They can.. but they add no nutritional value or anything.

Mealworms have next to no nutritional value...as a treat, sure, but I don't think as part of their diet would be good.
