DogOnly with care
CatOnly with care
Bryndza is a salty, fatty, crumbly sheep cheese. A tiny taste is unlikely to harm, but it is not a good treat because of its salt and fat.
Why
High salt and fat; lactose
Signs to watch for
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- excessive thirst
Good to know
Bryndzové halušky often come with bacon fat and škvarky — fatty and salty. Spreads such as šampión/liptauer may contain onion or chives, which are toxic. (Classification based on general advice for cheese, salt and fatty foods.)
