Are dogs allowed to eat broccoli?

Dürfen Hunde Brokkoli essen?

Broccoli is an extremely healthy vegetable that we humans, at least, can eat regularly without hesitation.


But what about dogs? Are dogs allowed to eat broccoli or is this relative of cauliflower taboo for the four-legged friends? We will give you the answer to this question in the following article.

Vegetables like broccoli as a healthy snack for dogs?

Of course, vegetables should not be missing in a healthy diet for humans. After all, it provides us with numerous valuable nutrients and is also very low in calories. Ideally, broccoli and other vegetables should therefore be on our plate every day.


Nevertheless, vegetables can also provide dogs with important nutrients. However, some varieties are not suitable for dogs and can even seriously harm them. However, this does not apply to broccoli. Your dog can therefore eat broccoli without you having to worry about it.

Broccoli contains many valuable nutrients

Broccoli also contains secondary plant compounds that are said to have a positive effect on health. In addition, it is rich in fibre and, with just 26 calories per 100 grams, very low in calories.


If you want to let your dog eat broccoli, you should cook the vegetable first. This is because in its raw state it causes flatulence in most dogs. By cooking it beforehand, you can usually avoid this and make the vegetable much more digestible for your four-legged friend.

Not every dog tolerates broccoli

Most dogs tolerate cooked broccoli well in moderation. However, this is not true for all four-legged friends. When you let your dog eat broccoli for the first time, you should therefore only give him a small piece. This way you can check whether your dog likes it or whether you should feed him different vegetables instead.

Broccoli for dogs - our conclusion

As you can see, there is nothing wrong with letting your dog eat some broccoli from time to time. At least this is true if your four-legged friend likes it. If that's not the case, of course, it's not a problem. After all, several other types of vegetables are suitable for dogs, and you need high-quality dog food anyway to feed your dog according to his needs.
