I've seen my friends feed their dog popcorn in the past. I don't really think there is any known facts that popcorn is poisonous to dogs.
Here's a cool way to make your own dog biscuits, maybe you can feed your dog this:

Dogs are able to eat a variety of human food, not just meat. Mind you, if they aren't used to it, they will have some interesting (and messy) reactions. As for the popcorn, if you can remove the kernel part, and it's plain, there shouldn't be a problem.
My doctor suggests cooking rice, adding it to some cooked veggies (maybe like frozen peas, carrots and corn), tossing it together with canned and dry dog food. And if you add garlic, it will help keep fleas away.
And my guys LOVE pieces of apple.

Problem is the 'hull' of the popcorn (you know, the stuff that gets stuck in your teeth) can damage a dogs sensitive digestive system. Pop corn is a definite NO-NO for a dog.

Not neccesarily, the popcorn should be plain white popcorn, not caramel or butter. Once in a while treats are okay!

you could no longer feed your canines something that has particularly some seasonings/salt/butter. it particularly is okay in case you provide him a number of them each night, yet no longer plenty. placed some products in a kong alongside with a cookie you will possibly pick to furnish a splash attempt to get it in so he has to artwork to get the products of popcorn out. That way it particularly is going to shop him entertained till your achieved eating and he won't beg.

I occasionally give my dogs popcorn and I think it's probably OK. Just as with any treat, don't overdo it.

No I wouldn't say so. They don't expand... actually.. don't they get smaller? ... My dog loves popcorn, but I don't feed her MASS amounts, just the handful or so.
