Can dogs eat broccoli?

In moderation

Safe in small amounts. Larger quantities can irritate the gut.

Broccoli is generally listed as safe for dogs in small amounts and is a source of fibre and vitamins. The documented caution is quantity: broccoli florets contain isothiocyanates that can irritate a dog's gut if a large proportion of the diet, and the stalks can be a choking risk. Small, plain pieces are the form usually described.
