Cheese is yummy. I don't eat cheese real often but probably eat it once a week or so. Sometimes as a treat, I let my kitty have a bite or two.

Pros: Good source of calcium and protein

Cons: High in fat

Shadow, one of my rescue cats, almost died and when I was to bring him home from the hospital I asked the vet what I should him and her answer was anything he would eat. She said at that point even junk food. Well, his favorite snack is cheese. I could not understand why he came flying in the kitchen when he heard the cracker package. Then I realized he thought it was cheese!
He snuck over to the neighbor's back yard and I just got the cheese and brought it out and rattled it and he came running so it works well! He could stand to gain a couple of pounds but I don't give him a lot.

Pros: Just good all the way around

Cons: High in fat

I have been giveing my dog his medicine in a small piece of cheese for 12 years. When he hears the frig door open around the time to give it to him he meets me at the door. If he misses hearing the door (he is almost deaf now) he somehow always hears the cheese being upwrapped and come running (well, I should say moving a little faster than usual:) I buy low-fat to help him maintain his weight.

Pros: Dogs love it and it makes giving meds easier

Cons: if too much is given it is fattening

Cheese is great for hiding pills. The meds can be hidden in chunks or rolled inside slides. It's also much better for your dog than nitrate-filled hotdogs.

Pros: Tasty Treat to Hide Meds

Cons: NONE

not often but for a treat i will give the girls a little bit of cheese and they love it. you just have to watch the fat and calories but it has good protein for them. some use it for giving pills but i just use it for a special little treat.

Pros: taste great

Cons: fattening
