Your pup nudges your hand, looking for a taste?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know our dogs love sharing treats with us, and it can be fun to toss your dog a popped kernel or two. Can yours catch it in his mouth?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you might wonder, is it safe to feed your dog popcorn? After all, there\u2019s a lengthy list of common human f<a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/safe-human-food-for-dogs\">ood that dogs can\u2019t eat<\/a> without the risk of getting sick.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list includes:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Grapes<\/li><li>Onions<\/li><li>Chocolate<\/li><li>Garlic<\/li><li>and more<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What about popcorn?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you don\u2019t give your dog popcorn outright, those pesky popcorn kernels have a way of finding their way onto the floor and into couch crevices for doggie snacks to reward snuffling pups.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, can dogs eat popcorn? It turns out that popcorn is one of those foods that straddles the line of yes and no.

However, that doesn\u2019t mean large amounts should make up a big part of your dog\u2019s diet&#8211; your dog doesn\u2019t need their own popcorn bowl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small amount of plain popcorn is acceptable for most dogs. In small quantities, it can be a nice dog treat. What\u2019s a small quantity? It depends on your dog\u2019s size but probably less than you think, as you\u2019ll see in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plain, air-popped popcorn is a healthy snack. It\u2019s rich in fiber which is a digestive aid. It also has many good-for-you minerals, as mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, if you\u2019re like most people, you don\u2019t eat it plain. Most people crave heavily buttered popcorn with salt or loads of seasonings, which changes the nutritional value. Extra salt, loads of butter, and other flavorings ramp up the calories and negates any dietary benefits. You\u2019re probably not surprised that popcorn loaded with salt and flavorings isn\u2019t healthy for you or your pooch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, some toppings can be downright dangerous to dogs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, garlic salt isn\u2019t good for dogs.\u00a0If you used garlic flavoring on your popcorn and your dog ate it, they could get sick because garlic is one of those people foods that can be toxic to dogs. Likewise, never let your dog eat chocolate or caramel-coated popcorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the flavorings, there are the corn kernels. Those unpopped kernels can get stuck in your dog\u2019s teeth and pose a choking hazard. Plus, unpopped corn kernels aren\u2019t easily digested, and one of two will probably make their way through the digestive system, but you don\u2019t want your pup gobbling down piles of unpopped kernels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, some dogs are allergic to corn. How would you know if your pup has a corn sensitivity? Most <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/health-wellness\/do-dogs-get-allergies\">dog food allergies <\/a>present as gastrointestinal problems like an upset stomach, vomiting, gas, and diarrhea. However, some dogs have food issues shown as skin problems. And if you give your dog popcorn and then they have diarrhea, that\u2019s a sign their digestive system can\u2019t handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Microwave Popcorn vs. Air-popped&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another question is, what kind of popcorn are you eating? Microwave popcorn is convenient. Yet, it tends to have a lot of salt and extra additives, which adds to the calorie count for both humans and dogs. Microwave popcorn doesn\u2019t make a great dog treat unless it&#8217;s plain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have an air-popper, you can pop up some plain popcorn and share a little with your pup in small quantities. What\u2019s an appropriate portion size? A small <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/culture\/pets\/can-dogs-eat-popcorn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">handful of popcorn<\/a> for a medium-size dog is plenty. Less for a small dog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, you want to avoid giving your dog heavily flavored popcorn like kettle corn or any of those pre-packed popcorn brands you buy at the grocery store. Plain and air-popped are the way to go for your floof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Pet Obesity Is a Problem&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/obese-cat-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"obese cat next to scale. pet obesity\" class=\"wp-image-19521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/obese-cat-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/obese-cat-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/obese-cat-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/obese-cat.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dogs love treats, and many pet parents enjoy giving their pups snacks. But, as the dogs put on the pounds and increase their caloric intake, they can suffer from health issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cat and dog obesity is such a problem there\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/petobesityprevention.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Association for Pet Obesity<\/a> and an annual Pet Obesity Awareness Day (it\u2019s October 12.)&nbsp; The American Pet Products Association&#8217;s most <a href=\"https:\/\/petobesityprevention.org\/2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent survey<\/a> found that 55.8% of dogs are overweight or obese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cabbagetownpetclinic.com\/2022\/01\/26\/pet-obesity-risks-and-prevention\/#:~:text=Why%20is%20pet%20obesity%20a,Reduced%20risk%20of%20health%20issues.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Extra weight<\/a> can contribute to heart problems, arthritis, and even cancer. Since losing weight is the best option for a healthy life span.

Most dogs love these:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Peanut butter (make sure you avoid ones with the sweetener known as xylitol as that\u2019s poisonous for dogs. You can put the peanut butter in or on a chew toy to keep your pup occupied.)<\/li><li>Apples (cut them into bite-size pieces)&nbsp;<\/li><li>Baby carrots&nbsp;<\/li><li>Broccoli<\/li><li>Sliced cooked chicken<\/li><li>Pumpkin&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/can-dogs-eat-watermelon-rind\">Watermelon<\/a><\/li><li>Yummy dog treats&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to offer your pup a few kernels of plain popcorn, you can air-pop a few kernels for your pup if you like. Just separate them from your popcorn if you\u2019re going to add flavorings like salt, butter, and other seasonings. That way, your dog gets a taste of a healthy snack but not too much. Then, offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/category\/health-wellness\">dog chew toy<\/a> or a belly rub to your dog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, like many treats, there are minor health benefits of popcorn for dogs in small quantities. That is, as long as you keep it plain. Skip the butter and flavorings and let your dog enjoy a plain fluffy popcorn kernel or two but don\u2019t overdo it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dog\u2019s health depends on getting plenty of exercise and eating nutritious pet food in the right proportions for their size, age, and activity level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine you and your pup snuggled in for a movie night.
