Can dogs eat Burrini?

Can I give my dog Burrini?

Burrini is not suitable for dogs to consume as it contains cream and cow’s milk, both of which may not be easily digested by some dogs. Furthermore, the high fat content could also upset your dog’s stomach. While it may be tempting to share this given cheese with your dog, it is advised to provide your dog with a diet safe for their health, free from dairy products.

Burrini is a semi-soft cheese prepared from cow’s milk that originated in the south of Italy. It is alternatively known as Burrata di Andria, Burrata Pugliese, 1 Burrata or Apulian Burrata. Burrini is formed in two layers; an outer one made of mozzarella cheese, while the inner layer consists of stracciatella and cream. It is traditionally served fresh and often accompanied by tomatoes, basil leaves and olive oil for a delicious Italian appetizer.

Risks of eating Burrini for dogs

Eating burrini can cause an allergic reaction in some dogs leading to skin rashes or itching. Additionally, the high fat content of burrini can cause obesity and other health issues in dogs. Eating large amounts of burrini may result in digestive issues or pancreatitis.

It is important to choose healthier alternatives to feed your dog and ensure their diet is balanced. Some healthy alternatives for your dog are lean proteins such as skinless, boneless chicken, turkey or salmon. You can also offer them some fruits and vegetables as treats, such as carrots, apples or blueberries. These are much healthier, and much better for your dog’s overall health than processed foods such as burrini.
