| well i'd worry about a) the salt content and b) the fake butter- if he got ahold of the BAG it's full of that crap (Good crap.. but not for pups).. i'd also worry about it getting stuck in his throat. So i wouldn't give it again but i wouldn't worry about it now. |

| I give popcorn as a treat when I'm eating it. I usually make the plain kind and add toppings, so before I do that I save a small bowl and give the babies each a few pieces. No problems here so far! |

| This is Orville's Brand that is Natural & 50% less fat. It didn't look like he ate much, and then I gave him a few kernels. You mean there is "pup corn" for dogs~? |

| Yes, 2 kinds..there is some you can buy that is like the air popcorn(in the treat isle), think they have cheese and peanut butter flavor..pupcorn it's called. The kind I buy for mine that is microwaveable, I found at walmart and it's called woofy popcorn. I bought a beef flavored and chicken flavored and I think the first one I gave them was cheese flavored. Between the 3 inside dogs, they ate the whole bag.. |

| Mine go nuts when they see that "special" pan being taken out of the cupboard. We only use Orville in the jar and we add a little salt. It's never hurt any of the dogs we have ever had.

| Suzi and I share popcorn, and she love it... one piece at at time though !I have never had problems with it, so i would not worry about it. As long as your not adding more butter and salt then I believe it will not hurt. i use the microwave kind.

| When I pop it in the microwave, Martin (the poodle) jumps up and down the entire 3 minutes while its popping. He loves it! I give Sam (Yorkie) pieces when I eat it but no kernels and I never let him have a whole piece. Martin and Charlie (Chi/Pom) have ate it with no problems.
