Cheese please. What pup doesn’t like taste of cheddar once in a while? Yes, I understand dairy isn’t the best thing for canine intestines so moderation is the key. And these are treats, right.

Recipe: Cheesy Potluck Doggie Cookies

My dog Victor loves cheese. Most dogs do. It’s one of his favourite ‘people’ foods especially in a house of no meat (expect pet food). However, fat is an issue, and not because he’s over-weight.
