Yes, plain cooked asparagus is safe for dogs in small amounts. Simply steam or boil the spears until tender and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Raw stems are too tough and can pose a choking hazard, so avoid feeding them raw. Serve it without salt, butter, or garlic, and call your own vet if you notice any vomiting or stomach upset.
