Unseasoned cooked broccoli is generally safe for dogs and even offers some health benefits due to its vitamin and fiber content. However, large amounts may cause some digestive discomfort, such as gas or diarrhea, due to its high fiber content. Keep an eye on your dog for any stomach upset, and ensure they have access to fresh water.
