What kind of food is this?
Per 100g: 95kcal, 18.6g carbohydrate, 3.5g protein, 1.7g fat. Compared with the average of the vegetables we list, it has about 3 times the energy and about twice the zinc and phosphorus.
Rather than adding water and bulk like leafy greens, this is a vegetable that adds real energy from carbohydrate.
Each kernel is wrapped in a thin skin, so kernels swallowed whole may pass through undigested into the stool.
How to serve
Do not feed the cob. Remove only the kernels, and mash or chop them finely. A swallowed cob can cause an intestinal blockage.
The cob is not food
Cobs are not digested. A bitten-off chunk can travel through the digestive tract in its original shape. Avoid letting your dog hold or gnaw on a whole cob.
If whole kernels appear in the stool, it means they were not fully digested.
