Cheese is safe in strict moderation for your Dogs. Pet parents should proceed carefully with cheese and dogs. A small taste is fine, but limit portions.

The key with cheese and dogs is moderation. Keep portions tiny and frequency low. Hard cheeses like cheddar have minimal lactose (0.1g per serving) compared to fresh cheeses.
