Nutritional Value
-
Popcorn has no nutritional value for your dog, but it also doesn't have a lot of calories, so it's a good treat to use for overweight dogs.
Portions
-
While a few kernels of popcorn are safe for your dog, a whole bag of popcorn in one sitting is not a good idea.
-
Keep it Plain
-
You like your popcorn with salt and butter, but when you're using popcorn as a dog treat, make sure the popcorn is plain. Too much salt and butter is bad for dogs, and turns popcorn into an unhealthy treat.
Warning
-
Popcorn contains indigestible kernels that could irritate your dog's digestive system. If your dog seems ill after eating some popcorn, don't use it as a treat.
Commercial Products
-
Popcorn is packaged and marketed as Pup Corn at pet stores. These products are flavored and might taste better to your dog, but they are more expensive than plain popcorn.
