Well do I know how dogs love corn on the cob. But did you know that the cobs kill? They get stuck in the gut and create a blockage and absorb toxins. Many dogs have not survived. Emergency surgery saved Boomer when he was about seven months old after he stole a cob from the hens. We insisted that the vet do the surgery the day a blockage became obvious. Others who have waited have lost their dogs, not necessarily to the blockage but to the toxins.
