Dogs can eat burrata cheese but they should only eat the burrata cheese as an occasional treat and in small amounts.

Too much burrata cheese could cause constipation, stomach upset, diarrhea and other digestive issues in dogs.

Burrata cheese or any other cheese is okay as an occasional treat for your dog, but the burrata cheese and other cheese should not be a regular part of the dogs diet.

Burrata cheese, just like many other types of cheese are high in lactose and high in fat, which can cause the dog to have digestive issues and other health problems when consumed in excess.

Dogs can eat many types of cheeses but only feed the cheese in small amounts.

Cheese is also high in fat and can lead to weight gain and obesity in dogs if fed to the dog regularly or in large amounts.

And many dogs are also lactose intolerant, which means the dog does not have enough of the enzyme lactase to digest the lactose in the cheese, which can lead to diarrhea and other digestive issues and stomach upset and bloating.

And high fat foods such as cheese can even sometimes trigger pancreatitis in dogs, which is a serious and even potentially fatal condition in dogs, especially in dogs that are prone to pancreatitis like cocker spaniels or schnauzers.

Cheese also has high amounts of salt, which can be a problem for dogs with kidney issues.

As long as you only feed the burrata cheese or any other cheese to your dog once in awhile as a treat and as long as the dog is not unhealthy or doesn't have any lactose intolerance or allergies to the cheese they can safely eat cheese in small amounts.
