Can Dogs Eat Tortilla Chips (Salted, Plain Corn)?
A plain, salted corn tortilla chip is not acutely toxic to dogs but is an unhealthy indulgence. The salt and oil can lead to excessive thirst, vomiting, or pancreatitis, while the sharp, crunchy shards risk mouth lacerations and choking. Corn provides minimal nutrition and may be difficult to digest for sensitive stomachs. An occasional chip that falls on the floor is unlikely to harm a large dog, but intentional feeding sets the stage for obesity, hypertension, and digestive upset. They are best left to humans.
