Cheese For Dogs.

[Theland]

I know chocolate is lethal for dogs, but how about cheese?

[waterboatman]

They can eat it, but you won't like the smell!

Most dogs are lactose intolerant but my late dog used to love a piece of cheese.

[Theland]

My sons Jack Russell enjoyed a piece when he called.

[woofgang]

Most dogs aren’t lactose intolerant, some are.

[riptide]

Try them with a small piece first, one my dogs reacts very badly to even a small amount of cheese and it makes him be sick for 24 hours .

[waterboatman]

Good advice riptide.
It's possible to get chocolate that is specially made for dogs. Ours loved it!

[roopower]

Too much cheese can also make them fat!

[woofgang]

too much practically anything can make dogs fat

[bhg481]

Our dog would have sold her soul to the devil for a piece of cheese - it made it very easy to give her any pills.

Too much of it can cause pancreatitis in dogs.

[iluvmargie]

My dog loves cheese and he has some as a treat every weekend. He's licking his lips as I walk towards him with it!

[Canary42]

LOL at bhg481 ;-)

My dog appears magically every time I open the cupboard housing the cheese grater. There's not much in there that we use regularly. It must sound different to the other cupboards opening! She gets some small pieces of cheese, but as others have said too much cheese can cause pancreatitis in dogs which can be fatal.

[pixie374]

Like yours, apg, mine even recognise the cheese grater, even if they aren't in the room. They love it, and I have always given it to them on occasions, with no apparent problems.

[woofgang]

Its worth remembering that its the fat content of ANY food that can trigger pancreatitis.....IMO its a bit dangerous to say oh this or that food can cause/trigger it because its the TOTAL amount of fat in the diet that causes the problem.

[Theland]

I am looking after my sons Jack Russell tomorrow, AND we have two big pieces of cheese in the fridge. Cheddar and Cheshire.
I love that little girl :-)

We have four cats, we had a Siamese who died aged 17, and loved cheese so much, she even knew the word!!!
Anyway, thanks for the replies, I think Ellie will definitely get cheese tomorrow.

[shoota]

Tiny morsels only Theland, not great chunks.

[Theland]

Apc2604 - Yes Yes Yes that's what our Siamese was like!
It was like she was psychic.
Mention cheese, she was there.
Take cheese out of the fridge, she was there.
I'm like that with beer!!!

[Theland]

Got it.
Tiny morsels.
Thank you.
