Cheese is found in several pet foods and treats; maybe not as the main ingredient, but certainly as a flavor or complementary feature to entice pets and their owners. Cheese promotes fun and diversity to their otherwise pedestrian flavor choices. It most certainly is a part of humanizing pets and sharing our world with them. It is both an indulgence and a tool. So, is cheese good for our pets? Perhaps. There aren’t any health warnings about cheese, and it has some interesting nutritional components, as well.
Most of us have offered a chunk of cheese or a nibble from our ham and cheese sandwich to our pets at one time or another. Cheese in its various forms are common leftovers and table scraps to share. So, whatever cheese you’ve had recently — brie, gouda, swiss or cheddar — chances are your pet has too.
