Can pets eat Celery?

Plain celery is safe for pets in small amounts. Long strings are hard to chew and can cause choking; cut into small pieces or cook to soften. Avoid seasoned, dip-coated, or stuffed celery. Celery is a crunchy stalk vegetable sold as whole bunches, hearts, pre-cut sticks, and soup mixes. Celery is eaten raw in salads and on snack trays and cooked in soups, stews, stuffing, and stock. Celery juice and green smoothies often include concentrated celery. Stuffed celery snacks commonly include peanut butter, cream cheese, or raisins. Celery seed and celery salt are seasoning blends, not the same as plain stalk. Recipes often pair celery with onion, garlic, and butter.
