Can dogs eat Broccoli?
Quick Answer:
Broccoli is safe in very small quantities, but can cause severe gastric distress if overfed.
Why it matters:
Broccoli is high in fiber and vitamin C. However, broccoli florets contain isothiocyanates, which can cause severe gastric irritation in dogs. Broccoli should make up less than 10% of a dog's daily intake, and the stalks can be a choking hazard.
What to check on the label:
- •Broccoli stalks (cut into very small pieces to prevent choking)
- •Added seasonings or cheese sauce
Symptoms to watch for:
- •Severe gas
- •Stomach upset or vomiting
When to contact a veterinarian:
Call a vet if your dog eats a massive amount of broccoli and experiences severe vomiting or abdominal pain.
