Risks

  • Corn cob is the part of the corn where the kernels grow. Because it's hard and very fibrous, it cannot be digested.
  • When ingested, corn cob can cause intestinal obstruction. It may also irritate and inflame the dog's gut and cause it to rupture.
  • Corn cob can be a choking hazard for dogs. This is because corn cobs can easily become lodged in a dog's throat and cause serious injury.
