Hi Pamela,

Broccoli is a great source of fiber and vitamin C but the broccoli heads contain Isothiocyanate which can cause gastric irritation. The stems are probably the safest part to eat if you are considering to give your dog some. If you do and you notice any development of gastrointestinal symptoms you should stop immediately though. | 07.08.15 @ 13:25
