I'm stuffing cheddar cheese into one of those Everlasting Treat Balls and then freezing it. Suddenly I start wondering if cheese is bad for my dog. Comments?

I have a medium treat ball so I guess it holds a cube approx. a inch by two inch. He has been working on it for 2 hours now instead of barking at me because he's bored of the 20 toys on the floor.

I personally wouldn't give dogs too much dairy...it can give them the squirts. Probably depends on the dog and how much you're using (I do occasionally use small pieces of cheese for training a pup).
If I have to keep my dog crated and occupied for awhile, I'll stuff the ground beef that I would have normally given as part of the raw meal and freeze that and give it to him. It still keeps him occupied, but it's no extra calories or junk that he doesn't need. Either that or I'll give him a marrow bone. I don't give him ground beef too often either, though, because he's sensitive to a lot of fat in his diet.

No squirts after three days of peace while I have coffee and read the paper in the morning. I never thought of ground beef. I just happened to have some cheese so I tried it. Then I got concerned.

Sounds like all is well, then. I sometimes use a portion of an American cheese square to wrap around an Ester C tablet, just enough to cover the tablet. I'll do this for several days sometimes if I have nothing else to mix the tablet into, each time followed with another small portion of cheese. (I give him the cheese with the vitamin c tab first, while showing him the other piece of cheese, so he swallows the tab immediately so he can get the other piece. Food drive is great.)

We used to use cheese quite often for training Teagan when she was a wee pup. Cheddar is cool - smells good, easy to chop into little squares, no preservatives and tastes nicer than doggy treats And damn easy to hide medicine in!
If there's no squirts, then it's fine. Don't worry.

Hi Lee
If i could buy cheddar Cheese in a Supermarket over here in Belgium, it sure would not be for the Dogs,
Its my favorite Cheese, and if i get a piece bought over from england for me i treat it as a delicacy, they do not sell it in the Belgium supermarkets, 99% of all cheese over here has no taste in it, well not for me it does not

I understand your problem. When I was living in Costa Rica I would get all kinds of food cravings. I can understand Costa Rica but never imagined Belgium.
