Is Zucchini safe for dogs?

Safe for dogs

Yes — courgette (zucchini) is safe for dogs in moderation.

Courgette is a low-calorie, non-toxic vegetable that makes a healthy occasional treat, either raw or cooked. Serve it plain — with no oil, butter, salt or seasoning — and cut into small, manageable pieces to prevent choking. As with any new food, introduce it gradually and keep portions modest to avoid stomach upset.
