Hey there! I get it, those puppy eyes are hard to resist. Let’s chat about tortilla chips and dogs. While a plain tortilla chip here and there isn't the worst thing in the world, it's not ideal either. They're often high in salt and can sometimes have spices or additives that might not sit well with Luna's tummy.
Keep an eye out for any signs of an upset stomach like vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive thirst. These could just be signs that her tummy's not too happy, but aren't usually emergencies unless they persist. If she seems lethargic, is struggling to breathe, or you notice swelling around her mouth, that's when it's time to call the vet right away.
If she grabs a chip or two, it's usually okay to just monitor her closely. Make sure she has access to fresh water and let her rest. If she eats a large amount, especially if the chips are salty or flavored, try to discourage her from eating anymore and observe her for a bit.
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.
The "Ask a Vet" forum on Dial A Vet offers general information and helpful tips on pet health, but it's
not a substitute for professional veterinary care. The advice here doesn't create a veterinarian-client-patient relationship, and our vets can't diagnose or treat your pet remotely.
For emergencies or specific medical concerns, always contact your local veterinarian immediately. Your pet's health is unique, and decisions should only be made after consulting with a qualified professional. By using this forum, you acknowledge these limitations and agree to seek in-person veterinary advice for all your pet's health needs. View our
