When we cook out, we usually butter corn on the cob and wrap in foil or if they are in the husk, we peel that down but not off, butter, re-wrap and place on the grill till done. We always make one for each of the girls and they just go bananas over them. They have never been allergic to corn, and not all dogs are. Corn like any veggie adds vitamins, minerals and roughage to the diet.
Here is a list of veggies that should be cooked before being fed to both dogs and cats: Corn, peas, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, hard winter squash and any hard vegetable that cannot be grated or pulverized.
Here are the veggies that can be fed raw: Chopped parsley, alfalfa sprouts, finely grated carrots with peel, finely grated zucchini and other soft squash with peel, lettuce and mixed greens, green, red, orange, yellow, or purple bell peppers, fresh corn (especially if chopped up, but dogs can gnaw on cobs) finely grated beets (don't be alarmed when urine or stool turns pink!) |
