Yes, it is safe to give a small amount of plain cooked plantain to a dog even if it has kidney disease or is on medication. Give only small, plain, steamed pieces and avoid any fried or salted versions. Plantain is low in sodium and potassium, so it shouldn't interfere with most meds. Watch your dog for any unusual signs, and call your vet if you notice vomiting, diarrhea, or changes in appetite.
