No, there is no immediate danger. Cooked quail meat is safe for dogs and can be a tasty protein source. The only part you must keep away is any cooked bone, because quail bones are tiny and can splinter, causing mouth or intestinal injuries. Offer the meat in bite‑size pieces and watch your dog while he eats. If you notice any signs of choking, mouth bleeding, or vomiting, give your vet a call.
