Can my dog eat Fiddlehead fern? 
Fiddlehead fern is a vegetable that’s actually the young part of a fern that turns into a new fern plant. The tops can be harvested from any number of ferns, but are generally taken from ostrich ferns. These veggies are not common in the grocery store, but you may find them in health food stores or at local farmer’s markets. Fiddlehead ferns are best cooked, to avoid food poisoning. They’re full of vitamin B2, copper, phosphorous, potassium, manganese, vitamins B3 & C.
Can my dog eat fiddlehead fern? Yes—these are safe for your dog to eat, but in small quantities once in a while. It’s important to cook fiddlehead ferns to make them tender and digestible for your fur baby. In addition, be sure to cut them into small pieces to avoid choking your pup. Can my puppy eat fiddlehead fern? Yes, but in small quantities only occasionally, and they should be cooked before he eats them. What if my dog eating too many or they are uncooked? Then he could develop digestive issues such as vomiting and diarrhea, or even food poisoning. If you notice your dog has any digestive issues and they seem excessive or grow worse over time, then be sure to take him to the vet right away.

I’m compiling a list of healthy vegetables for my dog’s diet. Good to know fiddlehead fern is safe for humans as it is for dogs because I’m also starting to eat vegetables more.
No doubt, these are my dog’s favorites. He eats this like once a week and funny enough his body doesn’t react to it no matter how much he eats. Though I try to give him in moderation.
Last time I fed my dog uncooked fiddlehead fern, it was not a pleasant experience. He developed digestive issues and we had food poisoning on our hands. Took us some hospital visits and he was fine.
Similar thing here. But for me I remembered to cook the fiddlehead ferns but not to cut them into small pieces. You already know what happened. My dog was actually choking and it was not pretty when we arrived at the hospital. But he survived though.
