can dogs have french fries

Dogs can eat French fries in very small amounts as an occasional treat, but it is generally not recommended because French fries are high in fat, salt, and often contain seasonings that can be harmful to dogs. Consuming French fries regularly or in large quantities can lead to health problems such as obesity, pancreatitis, salt poisoning, digestive upset, and exposure to toxic ingredients like garlic or onion powder often used in seasonings. Plain fries without additives may be less harmful in tiny amounts, but healthier alternatives like carrot sticks or plain cooked sweet potatoes are better choices for dog treats. If a dog consumes a large amount or fries with harmful seasonings, a vet should be consulted immediately.
