As with most vegetable and fruit treats that pet parents love to share, dogs can have broccoli in moderation. These crunchy, raw or steamed and soft cruciferous vegetables should only be an occasional indulgence though.

Broccoli for dogs: Do’s and Don’ts

When it comes to human foods that are safe to share with pets, can dogs eat broccoli is something many pet parents ask? Let’s get down to basics: broccoli is not bad for dogs.

Dogs and broccoli: Risks

As with any people foods that dogs eat, there is a risk of irritation, obstruction, allergic reaction or toxicosis. Broccoli toxicity may occur if your dog’s daily intake of food is made up of more than 25% of this cruciferous vegetable in one day.

Is broccoli ok for dogs?

Many veterinarians will recommend people foods for dogs, sparingly, as is the case with whether dogs can eat broccoli. The best advice is to limit this vegetable as an occasional treat, and if you plan to share it, keep an eye on your dog while he eats it. Should you notice any change in behavior, call your veterinarian immediately.
