Can dogs eat Reblochon?

Can I give my dog Reblochon?

Reblochon is not recommended to be given to your dog as it contains too much fat and salt. It may be tempting to share this cheese with your dog due to its rich, creamy taste and pungent aroma, but it is important to remember that cheese is not a necessary part of a balanced diet for dogs and can be dangerous to their health in large quantities.

Reblochon is a semi-soft cow’s milk cheese originating from the Savoy region in France. Also known as mountain or Alpine cheese, it is used in dishes such as tartiflette or fondue. Reblochon has a rich, creamy taste and a pale golden color. Its pale orange rind and soft interior are covered with an edible white mold which gives the cheese a unique flavor. Reblochon is pungent and aromatic and is often served with potatoes or on a fresh French baguette. It can also be melted into various dishes, such as the iconic tartiflette, or used in sauces and fondues.

Risks of eating Reblochon for dogs

The risks of feeding your dog Reblochon include digestive issues, such as vomiting or diarrhea, as well as weight gain due to its high fat content. Additionally, Reblochon contains lactose, which can cause an allergic reaction in some dogs. Excess salt intake can also be potentially dangerous for dogs, as it can lead to increased thirst, excessive urination, or a sodium ion toxicity, and can even lead to death.

It is best to choose healthier alternatives to feed your dog and keep their diet balanced, as consuming higher fat or salt-rich foods such as Reblochon can pose serious health risks to your dog. Some examples of healthier alternatives include lean proteins such as boiled eggs, cooked chicken, turkey, or lean beef. Additionally, you could feed your dog fresh fruits or vegetables such as blueberries, apples, carrots, or sweet potatoes. These options are high in essential nutrients and contain much lower fat and sodium content compared to Reblochon.
