Can Cats Eat Tortillas? Tiny Plain Piece Only
Tiny plain piece only
A tiny plain tortilla piece is usually okay, but tortillas are not useful cat treats.
TortillasCall for risky ingredients
Call your veterinarian if the tortilla came with onion, garlic, spicy filling, medication ingredients, or if vomiting, choking, or pain occurs.
Chips are different
Tortilla chips are usually salty, fried, and too hard for a cat treat.
Fillings matter
A plain tortilla piece is not the same as a taco or quesadilla.
Keep it plain
- Use only a tiny plain torn piece if you offer any at all.
- Keep tortilla chips, taco fillings, salt, butter, oil, garlic, onion, cheese, salsa, and spicy foods away.
Avoid fillings and chips
- Tortilla chips, seasoned tortillas, wraps with fillings, tacos, quesadillas, buttered tortillas, salty pieces, fried shells, onion, garlic, salsa, and large portions.
- Tortillas for cats with diabetes, obesity, digestive sensitivity, or prescription diets unless your veterinarian approves.
Watch
- Vomiting, diarrhea, gas, belly discomfort, thirst, appetite changes, or choking on a tough piece.
Portion
One tiny torn piece is enough.
