Benefits of Géramont for dogs

Géramont can have several benefits for dogs when fed in moderation. On the one hand, it is a good source of calcium, which is important for bones and teeth. On the other hand, it can also provide protein, which is necessary for muscle development and cell regeneration. In addition, Géramont can improve the taste of the food and thus stimulate the appetite.

Disadvantages of Géramont for dogs

However, Géramont also has some disadvantages for dogs that need to be considered. Firstly, it can contain too much fat, which can lead to obesity, digestive problems and even pancreatitis. Secondly, it may contain lactose, which is not well tolerated by some dogs and can lead to flatulence or diarrhea. Géramont may also contain salt, which can lead to high blood pressure or kidney damage.

How much Géramont can a dog eat?

The amount of Géramont a dog can eat depends on various factors such as the dog's weight, age and state of health. In general, however, Géramont should only be given as an occasional reward or as a supplement to normal food. As a rule of thumb, cheese should not make up more than 10% of the daily calorie intake. This means, for example, that a 10 kg dog should not eat more than 20 g of Géramont per day.
