Can dogs eat popcorn?

Grains ยท Dog food safety
โš ๏ธ Use caution. Plain air-popped is okay in small amounts. Flavored versions are not safe.

Why?

Plain air-popped popcorn contains riboflavin, thiamine, and small amounts of iron and protein. As an occasional snack it is not harmful.

How much can dogs have?

A small handful of plain popped kernels occasionally.

What to watch out for

Butter, salt, oils, and flavorings make regular popcorn unsafe for dogs. Unpopped kernels can crack teeth or cause choking. Never give microwave popcorn with added flavoring.
