My dog ate smoked goat cheese, coughing, bloated. Should I worry?

Hello, i gave my dog smoked goat cheese. It was a really small piece, but after some time he started coughing and bloating and trying to vomit couple of times without success. Will there be any problems so i can intervene on time and possibly take him to the vet? Thank you

He should not need a vet for this. Goat cheese is not toxic or harmful- it just may not agree with him. I’d only we worried if he starts vomiting, then you should take him to the vet.

As a side note, please refrain from giving any human foods to your dog. Really, they don’t need it and it can cause problems as you can see. This is mild but other foods can cause serious issues. Stick to dog food and dog treats. Best wishes.
