Cauliflower, including its leaves, is not toxic to dogs and can be a healthy part of their diet. However, like many vegetables, it should be introduced slowly to avoid digestive upset. Keep an eye on your dog for any sudden changes, particularly gastrointestinal symptoms like gas or diarrhea, which are common if they're not used to eating vegetables.
