| Has anyone given their yorkie the cob on corn on the Cob? We would eat the corn and he would nibble on the cob? I am just curious?? I was shucking the corn tonight and he was going crazy with the smell. Thanks! Heidi |

| corn is fine as long as it is cooked... but i'd think the cob part would be hard to digest.. maybe you could cut it off.. and make sure there isn't butter or salt on it.. |

| They will choke on corn on the cob! You can give them corn kernels, and maybe you can give them the corn you get in a can (baby corn or whatever) since that's quite soft. |

| A lot of dogs are allergic to corn.

| Thanks everyone. We just ended up cutting the "end corn" off from the cobs that the kids didn't eat....they are more "middle of the corn" eaters Last edited by Siara28; 05-22-2007 at 05:51 AM. |

| Mine LOVE corn on the cob. They chew those kernnels right off. Cook the corn first though. They don't eat the cob anyway. |

| I remembered my dog eating it when I was little too. We had a few ears again tonight, and Scruffy spent about 15 minutes eating the end ears again, and then he was done, so he didn't even want the cob, but it kept him busy outside this evening, thats always good!! Thanks for the info, it seems they don't even want the cob, just the corn! |
