Cauliflower safety for dogs
Plain cauliflower is safe for healthy dogs in small amounts, but cooked florets without tough stems are easier to digest and too much commonly causes gas.
Safe serving: A small plain floret, preferably cooked, with the tough stem and all seasoning removed.
Cauliflower safety for cats
Plain, cooked cauliflower is safe for healthy cats in small amounts, but the stem and leaves should be removed and too much can cause gas or digestive upset.
Safe serving: A small, soft, plain floret with the stem, leaves, and all seasoning removed.
