Yes, dogs can eat cheese. In fact, cheese is often a great training tool, especially for puppies. But should dogs eat cheese? While some dogs can eat cheese, and most dogs love it, many dogs can be intolerant of cheese. Even for dogs that are able to tolerate cheese, it is probably best fed in moderation.

Benefits of Cheese

Cheese contains protein, calcium, vitamin A, essential fatty acids, and B-complex vitamins. Most dogs love cheese, and trainers often use it for treat-motivated dogs. This snack is also a good way to conceal pills for dogs that require medication.

Feeding Cheese Safely to Your Dog

While cheese can be safe to feed to your dog, there are some things to remember. Cheese is high in fat, and feeding too much to your dog regularly can cause weight gain and lead to obesity. Even more problematic, it could lead to pancreatitis, a serious and potentially fatal illness in dogs. In addition to the problems presented by the high-fat content, some cheeses contain herbs or other products that are toxic to dogs, such as garlic, onions, and chives. Therefore, it’s better to feed your dog low-fat cheeses, like mozzarella, cottage cheese, or a soft goat cheese. Cottage cheese is lower in fat and sodium than other cheeses, helping reduce the risk of obesity. Cottage cheese is also lower in lactose, thus reducing the likelihood of intestinal upset.

Lactose Intolerance in Dogs

Not all dogs digest cheese well, and while cheese contains little lactose when compared to whole milk, dogs with severe cases of lactose intolerance may have adverse reactions to cheese, even in small quantities. Observe your dog closely for signs of intestinal upset after feeding cheese for the first time, and consult your veterinarian with any questions you may have about adding cheese to your dog’s diet.

What is the Yuckiest fruit?

durian fruit The smell of durian fruit has been described as a garbage dump, rotten eggs, and "turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock." People across the world truly enjoy the sweet hard-shelled fruit, but many think the smell is aggressively repugnant.

The smell of durian fruit has been described as a garbage dump, rotten eggs, and "turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock." People across the world truly enjoy the sweet hard-shelled fruit, but many think the smell is aggressively repugnant. Anthony Bourdain likened durian breath to "French-kissing your dead grandmother." It's even so smelly it's been banned on Singapore's Rapid Mass Transit. With reactions so extreme it will surprise no one to discover that eating durian holds an irresistibleallure for YouTubers. The latest host to house a durian on-camera is Animal Planet's Coyote Peterson. He goes to great lengths to track down the massive fruit in Florida. While the outdoorsman has been more than up to the challenge of a bullet ant sting, snapping turtle bite, and an intense spiking from a lionfish, the durian fruit proves to be a bit much. The stinky, slimy fruit induces a couple rounds of purging. (Yes, this is a warning. He can't keep the durian down.) Meanwhile, Peterson's director nonchalantly takes a bite like it's a piece of wonder bread. "It's kind of got a beef jerky flavor," says the director. That line alone may make you want to vomit. Nonetheless, he seems to enjoy it some, which pretty perfectly embodies the extreme divide between people who love durian and the people who can't stand it. In the end, Peterson doesn't think the durian earns the title of world's grossest fruit. He tasted the noni fruit on a previous episode. That's the "puke fruit" to which he's giving the title. Neither looks appetizing in these videos.
