Short answer

Yes, cabbage is safe for your dog when given in small pieces. You can offer it raw or lightly cooked, just be sure it’s chopped into bite-size bits. Large servings can cause gas and bloating, so keep portions modest. Watch your pet for any stomach upset and contact your vet if vomiting or discomfort occurs.
