Dogs
CarefulCats
CarefulSmall amounts, cooked plain or raw florets.
More than about a tenth of the day's food can irritate the stomach (isothiocyanates); stalks can lodge in the throat. A floret or two.
What to watch for
Gas, vomiting in larger amounts.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
