Asparagus: Safe for Dogs and Cats?

Cooked asparagus, cut into small pieces, is safe for dogs; raw stalks are tough and hard to digest but not toxic.

Safe serving: a small piece of cooked asparagus as an occasional treat

A small piece of cooked asparagus is unlikely to harm a cat, but regular feeding can raise urine alkalinity and contribute to urinary crystal formation, so it should stay a rare treat.
