Can Dogs Eat Cheese?
Cheese is a familiar food that boosts a dog's appetite and supplies calcium, but is it really suitable? Over 4,000 cheeses exist. Harms: overfeeding causes obesity, but more importantly cheese delivers high sodium and lactose. Cheese-making uses salt, and its sodium can cause high blood pressure and organ damage, so experts do not recommend feeding cheese long-term. Benefits: good protein; essential vitamins and minerals; rich calcium; vitamin A; B vitamins; healthy fatty acids. Avoid: blue cheese and other French cheeses—blue produces a toxin fatal to dogs (difficulty breathing, racing heart, then seizures; needs prompt stomach pumping) and has the highest sodium; cheeses with garlic or herbs (Havarti, even cream cheese); Brie and feta, the highest in saturated fat, which can trigger pancreatitis. Dogs to avoid cheese: overweight; lactose-intolerant (diarrhea); picky eaters (cheese won't fix appetite); those with digestive disease (a burden). Choose: low-fat cheese, and cottage cheese if possible (lowest fat and sodium)—always read the label.
Recipe: Homemade Chicken Floss for Cats
Chicken floss is a soft, powdery topper few cats refuse — great for picky eaters and cats that need to gain weight. Slice chicken breast into strips and dehydrate at 65 °C for about eight hours (dry it thoroughly, unlike jerky which keeps some moisture), then grind it into floss. Serve it mixed into kibble; cats often eat a full breast's worth in one sitting, and their appetite noticeably improves.

What happens if a cat eats sausage (hot dog)?
A little sausage barely affects a cat, but young cats with immature guts may vomit or have diarrhea. Adults must not eat much either, as sausage is salty, starchy and additive-heavy, irritating the gut and causing tear stains, shedding and soft stool. Regular feeding breeds picky eating and chronic malnutrition.
