Plain Popcorn Only

Dogs can eat plain, air-popped popcorn without any added salt, butter, oils, or seasonings.

Small Portions 

Popcorn should only be given to dogs in small quantities as an occasional treat.

Avoid Unpopped Kernels 

Before giving popcorn to your dog, make sure there are no unpopped kernels (also known as "old maids") in the bowl.

Watch for Allergic Reactions 

Monitor your dog for any signs of allergic reactions or digestive upset after eating popcorn.

Consider Your Dog's Size 

Smaller dogs should consume even smaller portions of popcorn due to their smaller size and digestive systems.

Consult Your Veterinarian 

If unsure about popcorn's safety for your dog, consult your vet. It's wise, especially if your dog has health issues.

Disclaimer

Before feeding popcorn to dogs, be cautious. Stick to plain, air-popped popcorn, avoid additives, and watch for choking hazards.
