Yes, plain boiled fennel bulb is safe for dogs in a small amount. The cooking process makes it easier to chew and digest. Just ensure it's cooled completely to avoid burning his mouth. Offer a couple of pieces and watch for any signs of an upset stomach. If he seems off, check in with your regular vet.
