A few cooked kernels make an occasional treat with a little fibre, although cats have no dietary need for grains.
About 5-6 kernels per serving (2-3 for a small cat) without reducing main-diet intake.
Cook, strip from the cob and chop small, with no seasoning.
Cobs obstruct cats as well, so clear the plate at once; salted canned corn is not recommended.

Cooked kernels supply starch, fibre and some B vitamins as a low-fat treat, while whole raw corn is hard to digest.
1-2 tablespoons of cooked kernels per serving depending on size (a teaspoon for a small dog), within roughly 10% of daily energy intake.
Boil or steam the cob, strip the kernels off and add no salt, butter or sugar; discard the cob and husk straight away.
A corn cob is a serious choking and intestinal obstruction hazard and must never be given; canned corn is salty or sweetened, so rinse it if used at all.
