Yes, dogs can safely eat broccoli in small quantities, either raw or cooked, as long as it is given plain without any seasonings or added oils. Broccoli provides fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and other nutrients that can be beneficial for dogs, but it should only make up a small portion—no more than 10%—of their daily calorie intake to avoid digestive issues. The florets contain isothiocyanates, which can cause mild to severe gastric irritation if consumed in large amounts, so portion control and monitoring your dog's reaction are important. Cutting broccoli into bite-sized pieces is recommended to prevent choking, especially in small dogs. If any stomach upset occurs, it’s best to discontinue feeding broccoli and consult a veterinarian.
