Safe
Cottage cheese is safe for most dogs.
Good source of protein and calcium. Low-fat varieties are best. Some dogs may be lactose intolerant — start small.
Caution
Cottage cheese should be given sparingly to cats.
Lower in lactose than milk but can still cause digestive issues in lactose-intolerant cats. Small amounts as an occasional protein-rich treat may be tolerated.
