Can my dog eat french fries?
No.
Deep-fried and heavily salted, the two things a dog's gut handles worst. A few stolen fries aren't an emergency.
Already ate it?
If they ate itA few are fine. A whole portion can cause vomiting and thirst: make sure fresh water is available and call your vet if it doesn't settle.
Watch forVomiting, thirst or diarrhoea within hours; a hunched, painful belly within 1–2 days after a large portion.
Thinking of giving it?
WhyPotato itself is safe when plain and cooked. Fries are salt and oil in potato form.
Where this comes from. Merck Veterinary Manual — Salt Toxicosis in Animals; Merck Veterinary Manual — Pancreatitis in Dogs and Cats.
