Can dogs eat corn on the cob?

No — don't give this

The kernels are fine; the cob is one of the most common causes of a surgical blockage in dogs.

If your dog has already eaten it

Call your vet the same day.

Being honest about this

Dogs differ, and amount matters — a crumb of something rich is not the same as half a packet. Treats of any kind should stay under a tenth of what your dog eats in a day. If you're unsure, your vet would far rather take the call.
