CarefulPlain air-popped, a few pieces; no butter, salt or unpopped kernels.
Kernels crack teeth and get stuck. Movie popcorn is salt and fat.
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.
