Cottage Cheese
Our ingredient score: 2 / 5 · Dairy · How We Score
Cottage cheese is a fresh cheese made from cow's milk. It contains milk protein and calcium, and less lactose (milk sugar) than milk. Many adult cats digest lactose poorly, but in dry cat food cottage cheese appears in small amounts near the end of the list. It is a dairy ingredient, so it matters for a cat with a dairy allergy. For cottage cheese as a snack, see Can Cats Eat Cottage Cheese?
