But does popcorn make a suitable food or treat for your dog? Let\u2019s find out shall we?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-salted-or-sweet\">Salted or sweet?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic answer to the question is yes &#8211; popcorn, in its plainest form, is absolutely fine to share with your dog. Basic, unflavoured popcorn has almost nothing to it and so there\u2019s nothing to upset your dog\u2019s stomach there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how many of us eat just plain popcorn? Usually it has been flavoured and this is where we encounter some issues. Salted popcorn is not good for dogs as it\u2019s very salty indeed and this can cause health issues. By the same token, sweet popcorn is usually very sugary and will contribute to weight problems with your dog. Buttered or caramel\/toffee popcorn is certainly out as it\u2019s just too fatty, and that doesn\u2019t leave us with many options does it?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, so if a piece falls on the floor and your dog hoovers it up before you\u2019ve had the chance to grab it, it won\u2019t likely cause any issues, but popcorn with any flavouring shouldn\u2019t be a treat for a dog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to treat your dog to their own little bowl of popcorn, making your own popcorn is the best way to make sure it&#8217;s totally dog-friendly. Avoid adding any oil, butter, salt, sugar &#8211; or anything else you fancy on top &#8211; and dish up a small handful before you start making your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you&#8217;re short for time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/gb\/range\/treats-and-chews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tasty treats<\/a> you\u2019ll find at <a href=\"http:\/\/tails.com\">tails.com<\/a> are perfect for a Saturday movie night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether we\u2019re going to the cinema to catch the latest blockbuster, or sitting at home on the couch to binge on the latest boxset, nothing is quite as nice to snack on as popcorn.
