Any Q

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.


Is it OK to give my cat Doritos?

Although Doritos are a fantastic snack for humans, they are not suitable for cats. They won't kill your cat, though they could make him sick, and nibbling or licking them typically won't result in a trip to the doctor, but that doesn't make Doritos a suitable food for cats.

What happens if my cat eats a Dorito?

A diet too high in salt leads to hypertension, heart problems, and dehydration. For cats, that amount is over 42mg per day. A serving of Doritos (12 chips) has a whopping 210mg! That many chips would cause salt poisoning in cats which can cause seizures, tremors, vomiting, and even coma or death.
