Is Cheddar Cheese Good for a Dog?

Dogs love cheddar, mozzarella, and cottage cheese. You should only give your dog cheese in moderation and make sure he doesn't have a lactose intolerance.

What kind of Cheese is Good for Dog Treats?

Low-fat cheeses are better for your dog, like mozzarella, cottage cheese, or goat cheese. 

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and sodium than other cheeses, so it helps you lose weight. 

Cottage cheese is low in lactose, so it's less likely to upset your stomach.
