Tortillas
Safe in Moderation
Plain tortillas can generally be eaten by dogs in small amounts, but flavored or heavily seasoned tortillas may contain ingredients that are unsafe for dogs.
- Ingredient-Dependent
- Preparation Matters
Safe part
Small amounts of plain tortillas with simple ingredients.
Avoid
Tortillas containing onion, garlic, chocolate, xylitol or other unsafe ingredients, as well as heavily seasoned or very salty varieties.
Preparation
Serve plain and in appropriately small pieces. Check ingredient lists for flavored or specialty tortillas.
Serving guidance
Small amounts occasionally.
Nutritional note
Tortillas primarily provide carbohydrates and calories and are not nutritionally necessary for dogs.
Did your dog already eat some?
A small amount of plain tortilla is generally not concerning. Concern depends more on the ingredients and quantity consumed.
Why we say this
Plain wheat or corn tortillas are not generally toxic to dogs. The main concerns are excessive salt, fat and ingredients such as onion, garlic, chocolate or xylitol in specialty products.
