We have heard some owners say that pork is unhealthy for dogs, while others believe it’s just another (relatively) novel form of meat. The most important thing to know is that a reasonable amount of properly cooked pork by itself is relatively harmless. As long as you don’t add any seasonings (like salt), feed your pooch raw pork, or allow him excessive amounts of pork, your puppy will usually be fine. Everything in moderation — but obviously, none at all if your dog is allergic!
If you’re asking about pork as an ingredient in dog food, we’ve reviewed several dog and puppy foods with pork as a top or key ingredient before. These have all been AAFCO approved and bone-free, as well as quality assured. If you suspect that your puppy may be reacting negatively to pork, however, head straight to the vet. And one more thing — don’t give him bacon, that counts as salty pork!
