just caught my dog sneaking a few Fritos from the table—should I be worried, or are they okay for him to munch on occasionally?

Hey there! No need to panic if your dog got into a few Fritos this time. They're not toxic, but they're not exactly good for pups either. Fritos can be quite salty and greasy, which isn't great for their tummies. Here's what to keep an eye on:

• Upset stomach – diarrhea or vomiting
• Excessive thirst or urination due to the salt content
• Unusual lethargy or restlessness

If they just had a few, most dogs will be just fine with no symptoms. However, if your fur baby grabbed a significant amount, watch for these symptoms. An emergency would be continuous vomiting, severe diarrhea, or any signs of pain or distress.

At home, make sure your pup has plenty of fresh water available to help flush out any extra salt. Monitor their behavior for any changes, and if anything seems off, contact your vet.

If you notice any severe symptoms or if anything seems off, it's wise to reach out to a vet directly. Trust your instincts: you know your pet best!

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
