Can Dogs Eat Cheese Crackers?

Cheese crackers are a processed snack food that combines refined carbohydrates with a meaningful amount of salt and, in many recipes, a fair amount of fat from the cheese flavouring itself. A few crackers stolen from a snack bowl aren't likely to cause a serious problem for most dogs, similar to how a few crisps wouldn't be a major concern. A dog that gets into a whole box or family-size bag, however, is eating a genuinely large amount of salt and refined carbohydrate in one sitting, which can lead to digestive upset and, if it happens repeatedly, contributes to weight gain over time. There's nothing specifically toxic about the ingredients in most cheese crackers, so this is really more of a moderation issue than an emergency one, though a large single binge is still worth watching for signs of an upset stomach.
