Are Doritos toxic to dogs?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Just like tortilla chips, Doritos® have a high amount of fat and salt. In addition, both the Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch flavors contain garlic and onion powders, which are toxic to dogs.


What happens if my dog eats Doritos?

Doritos are not made for pets and should not be given to your dog regularly. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract that does not allow them to break down dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives like humans do. This can lead to problems such as diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and even seizures.

Can dogs taste Doritos?

Dogs do not like bitter tastes and they will avoid bitter tastes when exposed to them. Your dog can taste Doritos and they are not toxic.

Can a dog eat a Cool Ranch Doritos?

Some, like Cool Ranch Doritos, contain onion and garlic, which can be toxic to dogs in high enough doses. There's not enough of either in a single Dorito chip to cause concern, though, so unless your dog eats the whole bag, you should have nothing to worry about.
