Border Collie + Cheese
Caution — requires monitoring.
The verdict
A 43lb Border Collie, like many dogs, can experience gastrointestinal upset from the lactose and high fat content in cheese. While not typically life-threatening in moderate amounts, it can lead to significant discomfort and digestive issues due to their size and sensitivity.
Watch for these signs (next 12 hours)
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal discomfort
Recommended next steps
Monitor your Border Collie closely for the next 12-24 hours for any signs of gastrointestinal upset. Ensure they have access to fresh water to prevent dehydration, and if symptoms like persistent vomiting or severe diarrhea occur, contact your veterinarian for advice.
