Can Dogs Eat Cottage Cheese?
Like many trends of the 1980s, cottage cheese has made a comeback. While she’s not into trends, my parents’ beloved 15-year-old poodle has been enjoying the protein-filled product. The vet recommended it because she’s gotten pretty picky in her old age. (She doesn’t look a day over 8, I swear).

Now, I didn’t know that cottage cheese is actually a wonderful treat to give your furry friend. According to PetMD, most cheeses are absolutely fine for your canine companion to eat. Cottage cheese is the best one to give your pet because it has plenty of protein, is low in fat, and has a lower lactose content. Its sodium content is also not too terrible.
Please talk to your vet before giving cottage cheese to your furry friend! After all, they might be lactose intolerant and get a seriously upset tummy!
