Any Q

Ideally, a dog shouldn't eat chips simply because they're very unhealthy. Even a few chips can contribute a lot of salt, carbs, and fat that your pooch wouldn't otherwise be eating and that they're generally better off without. Technically, dogs can eat chips because they don't contain any toxic ingredients.
