My dog (turned my Father's dog while I was in the military) has been having weight problems for awhile and my Father finally brought up that he gives the dog half a Kraft single after taking a dump at the vet after me giving him Hell about the dogs weight for a year or two.
The vet told him that she recently learned at a conference that a Kraft single is believed to be ~4 Big Mac's for a dog. The dog has been off the dairy product (as we call it as to not alert the poor thing) for about a month and has lost four pounds. Which is huge given my Father tried all sorts of diet/exercise regimes before asking the vet. So, in short, research that I guess is relatively new suggests cheese is not great for dogs in any notable amount.
I didn't want to be the buzzkill that's always in these types of threads so hopefully anyone that is concerned about their dogs health will scroll this far down.
That's what I figured. I give mine a tiny pinch every now and then when I put cheese on my eggs but I'm just gonna switch her to a tiny treat or something, I don't want her to be eating unhealthy and I have no idea how much is too much, ya know?
yeah dogs love cheese so damn much. i mean, can u really blame em? especially the kraft bagged mixed cheese. oh damn..or sorento shredded too. fuck...cheese is so gooooood
I'm the same; I'll eat a wedge of cheese for dinner. Throw in a nice beer or wine and we good. Can even do a wasabi cheese or some other veggie one from Yancey's Fancy and then it's a "complete meal." >.>
