Many dogs enjoy munching on corn, and it’s often found as an ingredient in many dog foods. It’s perfectly fine for dogs to consume with one exception – corn cobs.
Corn cobs pose a serious danger to dogs and can even threaten their lives. Unlike most vegetables, the cob can’t be digested or broken down in a dog’s stomach. Instead, many veterinarians note that corn cobs are one of the most common foreign bodies they remove from dogs. The cobs are also a leading cause of fatal bowel obstructions in dogs. If not removed early while still in the stomach, they can cause intestinal blockages that require expensive surgery.
Sadly, Dozer’s family discovered this the hard way after he ate one, but thankfully he got to the vet in time. New Ulm Regional Veterinary Center shared the warning on Facebook and wrote:
“Unfortunately, Dozer & his family learned the hard way that corn cobs aren’t safe for dogs – EVER. Despite how much you think your dog may chew a corn cob, it’s NEVER okay to feed these to them. Their body isn’t able to break down the corn cob & they get trapped in the intestines, resulting in a very sad, sick pooch that will likely require surgery.”
