Food is one of the strongest motivators for dogs, and cheese ranks near the top of the list. A whiff can trigger excitement, persistence, and even clever strategies to get every bite. Toast the Vizsla recently demonstrated this in a viral video, eagerly catching shredded cheese in her mouth as her owner grated it directly above her.
Video: Owner grates cheese block directly on Vizsla’s mouth and the internet reacts
A new Instagram video shows Toast the Vizsla enjoying cheese in a manner that has viewers laughing out loud. Unlike the usual method of giving a dog small treats by hand, her owner decided to grate a block of cheese directly into Toast’s mouth. As the cheese rained down, Toast eagerly tried to catch every shred, clearly relishing the cheesy shower. Adding to the humor, the video is overlaid with the upbeat track “It’s Raining Men,” which perfectly matches the playful chaos of Toast’s cheese feast.
Captioned “Give me life! Give me cheese!,” the video has exploded online, accumulating 3.7 million views and 143K likes within just three days. Many viewers expressed delight at seeing a dog enjoy food so unabashedly, while some even joked about trying the same method with their own pets at home.
One person quipped, “Say when’s enough — grates whole block.” Another wrote, “Nothing says true love like sharing snacks while the grater’s still going!” Others got creative with wordplay, posting comments like “Cheese on Toast” and “It’s raining cheese, hallelujah it’s raining cheese!”
Sharing cheese with dogs can be safe in moderation, but it’s important to remember that cheese is high in fat and lactose, which some dogs may not tolerate well. Offer small amounts occasionally and monitor your pup for any digestive issues. Hard cheeses, such as cheddar or mozzarella, are generally safer choices than soft, mold-ripened varieties. Always avoid cheeses with added herbs, garlic, or other ingredients that could be harmful to dogs.
