PET TIPS How are you ‘treating’ your pets? What’s the harm in some cheese now and then? If a 20lb (10kg) dog is given 28 g of cheddar cheese, it is equivalent to 2 1/2 hamburgers for a human. And if an 11lb (5kg) cat ate 28 g of cheddar... it's like eating 4 whole chocolate bars! What seems like a little treat for us can mean big trouble for your pets weight!
