Why Corn on the Cob Should Be Avoided
While corn kernels are safe for dogs, the cob is a serious choking and intestinal blockage hazard. Dogs often swallow large pieces of cob which cannot be digested. A swallowed corn cob frequently requires surgical removal. Symptoms of blockage include vomiting, loss of appetite, straining, and lethargy. If feeding corn, always remove it from the cob first. BBQ leftovers are a common source of this hazard.
