Buffalo Chicken Dip is not a routine dog treat. Buffalo chicken dip combines spicy sauce with high-fat cheese, cream cheese, ranch, and sometimes garlic or onion. It is more than a chicken question. A small taste and a large raid are different situations, so check the recipe or package before deciding what to do.
