Can dogs eat popcorn?

Yes, but be careful

Plain, air-popped and unsalted is fine as an occasional snack. Butter, salt and sweet coatings aren't. Unpopped kernels can break teeth.

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.
