It’s no secret that dogs love cheese. Not only does cheese smell and taste absolutely delicious, but cheese is actually quite safe and healthy for dogs. (Within moderation, of course.) Cheese has a lot of nutritional benefits: it contains protein, calcium, vitamins, and essential fatty acids that are all essential for any pup’s well-being.
