About CHEESE PUFFS

Cheese puffs are a type of processed snack food made from puffed corn and cheese flavoring. They are commonly found in grocery stores and vending machines. When it comes to pets, especially cats and dogs, cheese puffs are generally not recommended. They contain high levels of salt, artificial flavors, and preservatives, which can be harmful to pets. Small amounts may not cause immediate harm, but regular consumption can lead to health issues such as obesity, gastrointestinal upset, and potential toxicity due to the added ingredients. Always consult your veterinarian before introducing any human food to your pet's diet.
