While broccoli(花椰菜) is typically considered a safe vegetable for dog, there are still risks that you should know about.

Is broccoli healthy for dogs? Generally, yes, broccoli is safe and even beneficial for your dog to eat, but it’s still a vegetable that you should only feed to your dog in moderation. When it comes to how healthy broccoli is for your dog, it has some benefits that you definitely want to take advantage of during snack time. Broccoli is filled with vitamins and minerals, low in calories and packed with fiber(纤维) to help the digestive(消化的) system. There’s a reason that it’s just as good for us as it is for dogs!

When giving your dog broccoli, it’s important that you always feed it to your dog plain—meaning you aren’t giving your dog broccoli that’s been seasoned or cooked in butter or oil. This is because spices(香料) and fats aren’t good for your dog and can cause an upset stomach.

Can dogs eat raw broccoli? Broccoli given in its raw form is fine, but cooked broccoli is more widely recommended since it’s easier for a dog to digest. While raw broccoli still contains beneficial vitamins and minerals, it can also be more difficult to digest. Raw broccoli can also be tough to chew on. Cutting the broccoli into smaller pieces, whether cooked or raw, will be much easier on your dog and ensure it passes through their digestive tract more smoothly.

Of course, it’s always best to talk with your veterinarian before(兽医) adding new foods to your pup’s(幼狗仔) diet. Your vet can give you a good idea on how much and how often your dog can enjoy broccoli.
