Cheese puffs are a popular snack food made from cornmeal and flavored with cheese powder. They are high in calories, fat, and sodium, making them an unhealthy choice for dogs. Consuming cheese puffs can lead to obesity, digestive issues, and other health problems in dogs. However, cheese itself can be a good source of protein and calcium for dogs, so a small amount of plain cheese as a treat can be given occasionally.
In extreme cases, if a dog has consumed a large amount of cheese puffs, it can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration. In such cases, it is important to contact a veterinarian immediately.
Two safer alternatives for dogs to snack on are carrots and apples, which are low in calories and high in nutrients.
