Every dog is different. Individual allergies and sensitivities are common — always introduce new foods in small amounts and watch for adverse reactions. This site is for informational purposes only and is not veterinary advice. Always consult your vet.
The Full Picture
Plain flour or corn tortillas are not toxic to dogs, but they are not particularly beneficial either. They are high in carbohydrates and calories while offering minimal nutritional value. Flour tortillas contain gluten, which may cause digestive issues in dogs with wheat sensitivities. Corn tortillas are gluten-free and may be slightly better tolerated. The main concern is that tortillas are often served with toppings, fillings, or seasonings (garlic, onions, salt, spices) that are harmful to dogs. A small piece of plain tortilla as an occasional treat is unlikely to cause harm, but it should not become a regular part of your dog's diet. Avoid tortillas with added flavourings or preservatives.
What You Should Know
While tortillas is not outright toxic, there are important precautions to bear in mind before sharing it with your dog. Portion size matters, and certain preparations or varieties may be unsafe. If your dog has any existing health conditions, check with your vet first.
