Can dogs eat Halloumi cheese?
Risks
- Halloumi cheese is a high-fat cheese made from a mixture of goat's milk and sheep's milk. Some halloumi cheese are made from cow's milk. Because it's high in fat, excessive consumption of halloumi cheese can potentially cause digestive upset, obesity, and pancreatitis in dogs.
- Halloumi cheese is very salty due to the brine it was soaked in. Giving too much halloumi cheese to dogs can potentially cause dehydration and sodium poisoning due to the cheese's high sodium content.
Servings
- Dogs can have halloumi cheese in small amounts occasionally as a treat. It should not be given as a regular part of their diet.
