Can Dogs Eat Broccoli?

Verdict
Feed with caution

Small amounts are fine; large amounts cause GI upset.

Why it is risky

Broccoli florets contain isothiocyanates which can irritate the canine stomach. The stems are also a choking hazard.

Safe portion

No more than 5–10% of daily food intake. Steam and chop small.

Symptoms to watch for

Vomiting, gas, diarrhoea if overfed.

Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian or a pet poison helpline immediately. This page is editorial guidance, not emergency advice for an individual animal.
