Can my dog eat tortillas if they just grabbed one from my plate?

Tortillas are generally safe for dogs to eat in small quantities, but it's best to limit their consumption and avoid making them a regular part of your dog's diet.

• Watch for symptoms like stomach upset or diarrhea.
• Ensure the tortilla doesn't contain spicy or harmful ingredients, like onions or garlic.
• Keep human food intake minimal to avoid digestive issues.

While a tortilla itself is unlikely to harm your dog, it's important to be cautious about what human foods your dog ingests. Monitor your dog for any adverse reactions such as vomiting or diarrhea, which could indicate an intolerance or sensitivity to ingredients in the tortilla. Dogs' digestive systems are different from humans', and their nutritional needs are met through a balanced dog food diet.

For personalized advice, consider booking a consultation with Dial A Vet to discuss your pet's dietary needs and any concerns you have about their health.
