Can dogs eat popcorn?

Okay in small amounts

Plain air-popped popcorn is an okay occasional treat — hold the butter and salt.

🐱 Can cats eat this?

Why

Air-popped popcorn with nothing added is a low-calorie snack. The problems are the butter, oil and salt on movie-style popcorn, and un-popped kernels, which can crack teeth or cause choking.

If you do share it

A few pieces of plain, air-popped, fully popped kernels — no butter, oil or salt.
