Can dogs eat Stilton cheese?

Overview

No. Stilton cheese can be dangerous for dogs due to a toxic compound called Roquefortine C. Ingesting this blue cheese may lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and seizures. Dogs that consume Stilton should receive immediate veterinary care to prevent serious complications.

Risks

A fungus used to make stilton cheese produces a compound called roquefortine C, which is poisonous to dogs.
Ingesting large amounts of Stilton cheese can trigger vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate, lethargy, tremors, and seizures.
Some white Stilton cheese contains dried fruits such as cranberries which add unnecessary sugar to a dog's diet. It can mess up their digestive system causing improper nutrient absorption, especially when consumed in large amounts.

Servings

Although your dog will likely be fine if he has eaten a crumb of stilton dropped on the floor, it is best to keep stilton away from dogs to be on the safe side.
