My puppy got a mall piece of nacho cheese Doritos in his mouth. I got it before he could eat it. Will this make him sick? I’m worried.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. No, this should not make Zeus sick! There is nothing toxic in these chips that is anything to be concerned about :) Obviously, if he were to eat an excessive amount of these chips, he may get an upset stomach. I hope this is helpful!
