Overview

Caution. Dogs can have kaymak in small amounts, but it’s important to serve it sparingly. While it contains calcium and other nutrients, kaymak is very high in fat, which can lead to health issues like obesity, heart problems, or pancreatitis if overfed. Always offer it as an occasional treat—not a regular part of your dog’s diet.
