Yes, a cooked artichoke heart cut into small pieces is safe for your dog. Just be sure to remove all tough leaves and the fibrous stem, as they can cause choking or intestinal blockage. Offer the heart plain, without butter, oil, or seasonings, and start with a tiny piece to see how your dog tolerates it. Watch for any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty swallowing, and call your vet if anything seems off.
