String cheese in small amounts can be a nice treat, but too much could cause vomiting and/or diarrhea. I have often used string cheese as a special treat when my dogs are in obedience training. But too much cheese can lead to weight gain, so I would limit it to a special, occasional treat instead of something that Kieko gets every day.
