Verdict: Artichoke is allowed for dogs, but portions should be limited. You can offer the well-cooked heart cut into small pieces, as the hard outer leaves are indigestible.
How to prepare artichoke for your dog
Serve only the artichoke heart, cooked in water or steamed without any added salt. Artichoke is rich in fiber and excellent for digestion, but offering too much may give your dog gas.
Risks and precautions
Never give the outer leaves, which can present a choking hazard. You should also avoid canned artichoke hearts, as they are generally far too salty.
