Caution
Corn kernels are safe but cobs are dangerous.
Never give corn on the cob — cobs cause intestinal blockage. Plain corn kernels off the cob are fine in moderation.
Caution
Corn is not ideal for cats.
Not toxic but difficult for cats to digest. Corn cobs are a choking and obstruction hazard. Cats get little nutritional value from corn. Small amounts of kernels are OK.
If your dog has eaten this food and shows signs of distress (vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, tremors, or seizures), contact your veterinarian immediately.
