- Bottom line differs
Artichokes safety for dogs
Plain artichoke is not toxic to dogs, but the tough leaves and fibrous pieces are difficult to chew and digest, so cooked bite-size pieces are the safer form.
Safe serving: A small piece of plain, cooked artichoke with no butter, salt, garlic, or seasoning.
Artichokes safety for cats
Plain artichoke is not toxic to cats, but it is fibrous and difficult to digest, so only a small, soft, cooked piece should ever be offered.
Safe serving: A small piece of plain, cooked artichoke with no butter, salt, garlic, or seasoning.
