Burrata
What is burrata?
Burrata is a fresh, unripened cheese from Italy that is known for its creamy texture and rich flavor. On the outside it resembles mozzarella, but inside it has a filling of cream and cheese strands, which gives it an incomparably creamy consistency. Originally from the Apulia region, burrata is traditionally made from cow's or buffalo's milk and should be eaten as fresh as possible.
Benefits of burrata for dogs
Calcium and protein supply
Burrata, eaten in moderation, can be a source of calcium and protein for your dog. Calcium is essential for bone health, while protein is necessary for building and repairing body tissue.
Flavor experience
For dogs who appreciate new flavors, burrata can be a welcome change in the diet. The creamy texture and mild flavor can be especially appealing to picky eaters or older dogs.
Disadvantages and precautions
Lactose intolerance
Many dogs are lactose intolerant, which means they have difficulty digesting milk sugar (lactose). Burrata, like most dairy products, contains lactose, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive dogs, including bloating, diarrhea and vomiting.
High fat content
Burrata is high in fat, which can lead to weight gain and associated health problems if consumed in excess. Especially for dogs that are prone to obesity, the feeding of fatty cheeses such as burrata should be avoided or severely restricted.
Risk of milk protein allergies
Some dogs can be allergic to milk proteins, which can lead to skin irritation, itching and other allergic symptoms. Before giving your dog Burrata, you should make sure that he has no known allergy to dairy products.
