![]() Upon further investigation, I found yet another twist in this already spicy mystery. The sweetest of the bunch, the spice was truly a delayed fuse, taking nearly 30 seconds to develop almost exclusively on the back of my tongue, the hottest of any of the four chips I sampled. I am excited to confirm the Flamin' Hot Cheeto conspiracy was true, especially, as noted in the original video, when compared to the snack-sized chips.įor the sake of science, I then tested one of the puffed Flamin' Hot Cheetos, and as expected, it tasted entirely different than any of its predecessors. Although I'd classify each chip under the general umbrella of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, they ran a spectrum of sweet and spicy. As soon as I took a bite, the spice, which was by far the hottest and the sweetest by a significant margin, immediately hit me on the tip of my tongue, a departure from the other bags that took a few seconds to develop into a generally mild burn throughout my pallet. The scent of spicy cheeto dust hit me harder than either the medium or large-sized bag. On average, half to one pound of milk chocolate can kill a dog.As soon as I opened the snack-sized bag, I knew Sabrina had not let me down. For every pound of body weight, the dog can bear an ounce of chocolate. The exact amount that will kill a dog depends on the dog’s weight. While certain toxic foods only affect dogs when they are eaten in huge amounts, it’s not the same with chocolates. But, once again, it is best to keep such toxic foods away from your dog’s reach. For 90% of dogs, it takes at least 3 grapes to result in a negative side effect, the most common one being kidney failure. Although they are toxic, one grape doesn’t really affect a dog. Dogs particularly dislike the smell of spicy foods which is why they also don’t eat it often.Ī lot of ‘normal’ human foods are poisonous for dogs. Since their sense of smell is extremely strong, they can recognize spicy foods by the aroma. But, there is still a very low chance that dogs will eat something with a spicy flavor. Things like curry and hot peppers cannot be tasted by dogs. ![]() The best thing is to be cautious than sorry.ĭogs do not have taste receptors for spicy flavors. However, regularly eating things like Cheetos that have high sodium content as well as fats and oils is harmful. They are almost harmless if the dog only ate one or two of them. ![]() All of this may sound excessive but trust me, it’s better to be over-protective than to regret later on. For when your kids or guests are eating such things, limit your dog to another room. Next, whenever you’re eating your snacks, be careful not to drop them. A locked cupboard, preferably that is high is the best option. Keep all your human snacks far away in a secure place that your dog should never be able to reach. ![]() The next step is to take preventative steps to ensure that the incident does not repeat again. The digestive system will have flushed out the harmful ingredients by this time. If 24 to 48 hours have passed and your dog seems fine, the chances of any risk are over.

There are very brisk chances that the dog will repeat the mistake again. The reason why your dog might have munched on a few was out of curiosity or to get your attention.

Just because your dog will be okay doesn’t mean it’s alright to feed hot Cheetos every now and then. But in all these cases, the amount of Cheetos isn’t enough to kill or hurt the dog.ĭo not misinterpret this information. Sometimes, kids can also accidentally feed dogs the wrong things. Or maybe, the dog found a pack of Cheetos lying around. For when the dog did eat hot Cheetos, it probably happened by accident when you dropped some Cheetos on the floor. No informed and loving pet parent will ever let their dog eat hot Cheetos on a daily basis. If your dog only munched on a few or if this only happened once or twice, you can relax. There are a few possible risks but they only arise if dogs are eating Cheetos regularly or in big amounts. ![]()
