Can dogs eat Corn Kernels?
Feed with caution
Small amounts only, and not right for every pet.
Plain cooked corn kernels are not toxic, but they are mostly carbohydrate and should only be an occasional extra.
Before you feed it
- Kernels only - never the cob
- Serve plain without butter, salt, garlic, onion, or seasoning
- Avoid frequent large portions
How much is safe
Small spoonful occasionally
