An one-inch long chunk of cheese (cheddar) eaten by a dog is equal to a human eating two cheeseburgers.
There is also the fact that many human foods are poisonous to dogs, such as:
(you don't have to read this part)
SAFE!!! Nothing but kibble is healthy
UNSAFE!!!
If your dog has ingested any of these foods, get veterinary help immediately Grapes and Raisins: Grapes and raisins can cause kidney failure in dogs. As little as a single serving of raisins can kill a dog Onions: Onions destroy red blood cells and can cause anemia. Chocolate: Chocolate can cause seizures, coma and death. Baker’s chocolate is the most dangerous. A dog can consume milk chocolate and appear to be fine because it is not as concentrated, but it is still dangerous. Coffee, Coffee grounds, tea and tea bags: Drinks/foods containing caffeine cause many of the same symptoms chocolate causes Macadamia Nuts: Macadamia nuts can cause weakness, muscle tremor and paralysis. Animal fat and fried foods: Excessive fat can cause pancreatitis. Bones: Bones can splinter and damage a dog’s internal organs. Tomatoes: Tomatoes can cause tremors and heart arrhythmias. Tomatoe plants and the most toxic, but tomatoes themselves are also unsafe. Avocados: The fruit, pit and plant are all toxic. They can cause difficulty breathing and fluid accumulation in the chest, abdomen and heart Nutmeg: Nutmeg can cause tremors, seizures and death Apples, Cherries, Peaches and similar fruit: The seeds of these fruits contain cyanide, which is poisonous to dogs as well as humans. Unlike humans, dogs do not know to stop eating at the core/pit and easily ingest them. Raw eggs: Raw eggs can cause salmonella poisoning in dogs. Dogs have a shorter digestive tract than humans and are not as likely to suffer from food poisoning, but it is still possible. Salt: Excessive salt intake can cause kidney problems.
