Short answer

Plain tofu treats made specifically for dogs are generally safe. Check the ingredient label carefully to make sure there is no onion, garlic, excessive salt, or other seasonings that can harm dogs. A small corgi should only have treats that make up no more than ten percent of their daily calories. If your corgi tolerates the treat well, it can be a low-calorie snack; if you notice any loose stools or vomiting, discontinue use and consult your vet.

Plain, unseasoned tofu in small cubes is safe and easy to digest.

Dogs and cats carry the same rating (Safe to share), so the notes below hold for either pet.

Tofu is not toxic to dogs. The real limit is calories, fat and salt, so treat it as a small extra alongside the normal ration rather than a meal in itself.

There is no poisoning risk here, and the usual problem is simply eating too much at once: a heavy fat or salt load can bring on loose stools or a single vomit. Offer water, keep an eye on the pet for 24 hours, and do not induce vomiting.
