Cheese is not healthy for dogs, can cause loose stool, provides no nutritional value and also can make your pet overweight. I would not recommend giving cheese to your pet. Instead you can give your pet dog treats or puppy cheese (safe for pets and has less chance of causing loose stool) in a kong toy to keep him occupied. Best of luck with your pet Sakthi moving forward. Take care. : )
