Mini Dachshund Bobbing For Cheese Is The Cutest Thing You'll See All Day
Dachshunds are naturally cute. Make them a mini, and they're even more adorable. Now make that mini bob for cheese — yes, cheese — and you've got a squee-worthy video that just might be the cutest thing you'll watch all day. Have you ever seen anything like it?
"Cherry bobbing for cheese is the serotonin boost you didn't know you needed 🐾," reads the video caption, as the adorable miniature dapple dachshund eagerly sticks her snout in a bowl of water that has some coveted cheese floating in it. "She's never moved this fast in her life 🧀," jokes the content creator, as the little cheese cubes quickly disappear.
"Well that's adorable," said one person in the comments on the video, also shared on YouTube. Meanwhile, all we can think about is how long little Cherry kept going back to that bowl in the hopes cheese magically showed up again. We're not sure it'll work, but maybe she'll even stomp her paw like this negotiating shih tzu. Either way, considering how cute she is, we're guessing the cheese reappeared again sooner rather than later!
Is cheese OK for dogs to eat?
After watching Cherry the mini dachshund gobble down some floating cheese, you may be wondering: Is cheese OK for dogs to eat? The answer is yes, for the most part. Most cheeses are fine for an occasional snack or treat, but it should not be something they eat all the time.
Cheese can provide calcium and protein and can be a great way to hide prescription medicine or be used as a sought-after training reward. Beyond that, if eaten too often or in higher quantities, it can cause tummy upset, weight gain, and other negative side effects — all things that can happen when dogs ingest dairy. Certain cheese — like blue cheese and any varieties with garlic, onions, or hot peppers — should be completely avoided, as they can be toxic or even fatal.
Safe bets when it comes to cheese for pups include cheddar, mozzarella, and plain cottage cheese. A small cube or a few shreds is just the right amount when it comes to moderation — no matter what your dog's eyes or whines say!
