Is Cheese safe for my dog?
Yes, and no. First of all, you need to know if your dog is lactose intolerant. Many dogs have lactose intolerance. Second of all, cheese has a lot of fat, and can cause weight gain, obesity and pancreatitis. Plus, if they have garlic, onions or chives, it can kill them. Third of all, if you feed them types of cheese with a lot of salt, they can become depressed. So, low-fat cheeses like soft goat cheese, mozzarella and cottage cheese are better. But, there is more to know.
