Can dogs eat Popcorn (Plain)?
Feed with caution
Small amounts only, and not right for every pet.
Plain air-popped popcorn is not toxic, but kernels can be a choking hazard and toppings are often unsafe.
Before you feed it
- Air-popped and plain only
- Avoid butter, salt, caramel, chocolate, garlic, and onion flavors
- Remove unpopped kernels
How much is safe
A few plain popped pieces occasionally
