What are Tortillas?

Tortillas are round flatbread from Mexico. They’re made either from cornmeal or with wheat flour. The bread is unleavened and can be used for many dishes, including tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and more.

This yummy flatbread can either be made commercially or at home. The ingredients used to make tortillas include:

  • Flour (corn or wheat)
  • Salt
  • Water
  • Fat (oil, lard, shortening, butter)

The bread is easy to make and is a favorite for people all over the world! While we can enjoy tortillas, what about dogs? Are tortillas safe for dogs?

Tortillas & Dogs

The good news is that there’s nothing in a regular tortilla that’s toxic to dogs! However, this flatbread really isn’t very healthy for dogs, either. Dogs aren’t able to process grains as well as we can. What’s more, some dogs are allergic to corn and wheat. And the bread doesn’t provide the nutrients that dogs need.

We’d have to say that homemade tortillas made with corn are healthier than store-bought tortillas. Store-bought tortillas usually include plenty of preservatives and other ingredients that may not be healthy for dogs. On the other hand, homemade tortillas are fresh and don’t include these harmful chemicals.

So, we’d have to say that tortillas are safe for dogs, but only in moderation. Dogs that eat too many tortillas on a regular basis could develop health issues such as weight gain or obesity, allergies, upset stomach, digestive problem, diabetes, and more.

What About Tortilla Chips?

Tortilla chips are usually made of corn and then fried in oil. They also contain a lot of salt and made include seasonings that are toxic to dogs. These may include onion, garlic, and more.

So, we’ve had to say that tortilla chips are not good for dogs, either. If your dog has a piece of a chip once in a while, he should be OK. But he should not eat tortilla chips regularly, or he could develop some serious health issues.
