How much cheese can my dog safely eat?

Most dogs can have small amounts of plain cheese as a treat. Keep it to a few small cubes, and choose lower-fat cheese like mozzarella or cottage cheese.

Avoid: cheese with garlic, onion, herbs, or blue cheeses. Skip cheese for dogs that are lactose intolerant, overweight, or have had pancreatitis.

Signs it didn't agree: gas, loose stool or vomiting. Treats of any kind should stay under about 10% of daily calories.
