Can dogs eat Burrata Cheese?

Can I give my dog Burrata Cheese?

Burrata is not suitable for dogs to consume as it is high in fat and salt content which may cause digestive issues or even pancreatitis in some cases. Furthermore, it does not provide enough nutritional value to make it worth feeding to your dog. It may be tempting to share this cheese with your dog, as its mild flavor is appealing but ultimately it is best to not share it with your dog.

Burrata is a type of Italian cheese typically made from mozzarella and cream. It is practically a pouch of melted mozzarella stretched as thin as possible, filled with shreds of soft mozzarella soaked in cream or mascarpone. The origins of Burrata are uncertain but it is believed to have originated in the Apulia region of Italy in the early 20th century. Burrata is widely popular in Italian cuisine and is used to enrich many recipes including dinner and breakfast dishes. It may also also be eaten alone as it has a mild flavor that tastes great when served with some olive oil, nuts and a sprinkle of salt. Other common names of Burrata include Burrata di Mozzarella and Burrata Pugliese.

 

Risks of eating Burrata Cheese for dogs

Eating burrata may be detrimental to a dog’s dental health due to its high fat content, which is difficult for dogs to digest. The salt content in burrata is also high, which may increase a dog’s risk of dehydration. Furthermore, because burrata lacks important nutrients that a dog needs, feeding it to your pet can lead to nutritional deficiencies over time.

It is important to choose healthier alternatives to feed your dog as it can help keep their diet balanced and provide them with the essential nutrients they need to stay healthy. Two alternatives edible by dogs would be lean proteins such as boiled chicken or turkey breast and fresh vegetables like sweet potato or carrots, both of which are packed with nutrients that can help maintain a healthy diet.
