DOG FOOD GUIDE

A guide to cheese

Cheese can be a tempting treat for dogs, but not every kind belongs in their bowl. Here’s what to look for, what to avoid, and how to keep portions sensible.

Choosing cheese for your dog

Some dogs tolerate a little cheese, while others find dairy difficult to digest. Choose plain cheese without added seasonings, and introduce any new food slowly.

Cottage cheese

Plain cottage cheese can be an option. Choose a low-sodium variety where possible, and check the ingredients for added flavors or sweeteners.

Mozzarella

Plain mozzarella is another option in a small amount. Look for an unflavored variety without added seasonings, and check the sodium content.

Cheddar

A small piece of plain cheddar may be suitable for some dogs. It can be high in fat and salt, so offer it sparingly and check with your vet if you are unsure.
