Is popcorn good for my dog?
Popcorn can provide several nutritional benefits to our furry friends, such as magnesium, zinc, and fibre. However, it’s important to be aware that popcorn coated in butter, salt or similar oils can give your pup a sore tummy – so always try to prevent your pooch from tucking into this.
In addition to this, always remember to keep your kernels a safe distance from your pup as they could become a choking hazard.
If you want to share an occasional treat with your dog, plain air-popped popcorn is the way to go! So, next time you’re getting cosy with your pup, let them pop their paws up on their personalised blanket and tuck into a tasty treat with you, bliss!

Enjoy everything in Moderation
Whilst plain popcorn is safe for your dog to consume, you should always ensure it is enjoyed in moderation. Your dog needs to maintain a healthy diet so that they’re getting the correct vitamins to support their health and wellbeing.
For more information on this, check out our blog post which reveals how many treats your pup should be having each day.
Treats should make up around 10% of your dog’s diet and whilst popcorn does contain certain minerals that will benefit your pup, most of these can already be found in their day-to-day diet.
Why not keep their treats out of reach and safely stored in a personalised treat tin? That way you can use treats as an incentive or reward for displaying good behaviour.
Looking for a way to minimise mealtime mess? Then you need a personalised feeding mat in your dog’s daily routine, they offer the easiest way to keep your floor clean and absorb spillages.

Yappy to Help
We hope you now have a better understanding of how your pup can enjoy popcorn and similar dog-friendly treats in moderation.
If you’re ever concerned or unsure whether a treat is suitable for your dog, always check before allowing them to eat it. For example, certain foods like chocolate can be toxic to them. As a dog owner, it’s important to familiarise yourself with what foods are dangerous for dogs.
If you’re concerned your dog has eaten something that could be harmful to them, please consult veterinary advice immediately.
