We have downloaded and printed your list of what foods dogs can and can’t eat, and we are very grateful for it because we reference it often on our fridge. BTW, any chance you guys are creating a fridge magnet version of this list?

But back to my original question: we don’t plan on actively feeding our dogs Cheetos by any means, but our kids love them, and our pups occasionally get into them. Doesn’t seem to be causing problems so far, but wanted to check with the experts.

Hi Batdad,
I’m glad you find this list handy; I do, too! I don’t know if there are any plans to create a fridge magnet version of this list, but I can certainly pass on the message to our Canine Journal shop team for future product considerations.
Cheetos are not toxic to dogs but are high in fat and flavors that can cause gastritis in dogs, especially if your kids eat the flamin hot flavors. It shouldn’t be an issue if your pups sneak an occasional Cheeto or two. My daughter loves spicy Cheetos, and I’m forever trying to clear up the crumbs and the strayed Cheetos down the side of the couch. But my two pups always manage to sniff them out if I don’t get there in time.
We have a guide on what to give your dog for an upset stomach should your pup ever need it.
