Yes. Mozzarella cheese is safe for dogs when given in small amounts. It’s low in lactose, calories, fat, and sodium, making it one of the better cheese options for dogs. However, even though it contains less fat than many other cheeses, much of it is saturated, so moderation is key to avoiding unwanted health issues.
