Dogs love cheese and in order to make them more attractive to them, adding some in the meal gives them the appetite. Meat and other decoration contents can be added on top so as to make the dog locate them through their flavor. Adding some flavor is not harmful; however, one should limit the amount of cheese given to the dog as it can be harmful when ingested in large amounts. Cheese is known for causing digestion problem by binding the stomach walls.
