Cheddar
Cheddar cheese dog treats are an excellent way to show your furry friend your appreciation, but be careful to give them in moderation. Made from healthy ingredients such as oat flour – which benefits both humans and dogs alike! – these homemade treats should only be given once in a while.
Low in calories and an excellent way to reward or treat your pup after training sessions, these treats contain protein, calcium, vitamins A & K and essential fatty acids – plus they’re gluten free and vegan-friendly! Plus they only require three ingredients! You can cut any shape you like; using cookie cutters shaped like bones, paw prints or fire hydrants makes cutting easier!
Parmesan
Parmesan cheese makes an excellent ingredient for baked dog treats due to its high content of protein and calcium. Furthermore, it provides essential fatty acids and vitamin A which may aid your pet’s coat health as well.
Fromm’s oven-baked parmesan cheese treats are created using Wisconsin parmesan cheese, fresh vegetables, and an herbaceous hint of oregano for flavoring. Additionally, they’re grain-free with no additional salt, sugar, or preservatives added during production.
Rocco and Roxie offer meaty soft jerky treats made from USA-raised chicken, beef, and turkey without fillers or artificial flavors – also free from wheat, corn, or soy – and each treat weighs less than four calories!
Swiss
Swiss cheese contains high amounts of fat and calories, so it shouldn’t be given to overweight or obese dogs. Furthermore, sodium-rich products could potentially pose risks to pups with kidney or heart issues.
Feta cheese should only be given to dogs without dairy sensitivities, starting off slowly until you see any adverse reactions from them. Mozzarella has an ideal combination of lactose content and fat. Feta is very rich, fatty cheese that could lead to stomach issues in sensitive dogs like vomiting and diarrhea; so try giving smaller amounts first and watch closely for reactions before giving more.
Mozzarella
Mozzarella cheese makes an irresistibly delectable treat for dogs! Packed full of protein to promote muscle development and calcium for strong teeth and bones, as well as vitamin A for vision support, essential fatty acids to promote healthy skin and coat health, it makes an irresistibly delicious treat.
Mozzarella cheese may be suitable for lactose intolerant dogs because it contains less lactose (the milk sugar) than other dairy products do, though still high in fat and sodium content; but only give as a treat in moderation.
Blue cheese contains a type of fungus that some dogs are sensitive to; an allergic reaction could lead to diarrhea and vomiting in your pup.
Cheez-Its
Cheez-Its are generally safe for canines, though should only be given as occasional treats due to their high caloric and sodium intake and potential stomach upset issues. They contain an ingredient called Annatto that could potentially be toxic.
Too many Cheez-Its could cause vomiting, diarrhea, bloating or even septic shock if their bodies contain too much salt; should this occur they may need hospitalization for several days until their salt levels decrease and they no longer present with these symptoms – this condition could even prove life threatening to their wellbeing!
Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is a protein-rich food with essential nutrients that provide bone and tooth health, probiotics for gut health, and immune system support. Plus it’s relatively low in calories and fat, making it a good option for overweight dogs looking to shed unwanted pounds.
Cottage cheese should always be fed in moderation to your dog as too much can lead to weight gain. Cottage cheese provides excellent protein source if they can tolerate dairy well, providing your canine companion with an important source of essential amino acids and other vitamins and minerals.
