I think ham is cured or smoked or salted or something. Same of course with bacon. But we had this discussion a bit ago, when I cooked a pork loin roast, I left 1/4 of it unseasoned, and I tell you there was very little fat in the pan after the meat was done.
But still I have only used it sparingly and that for my large breed as treats. I don't home cook with pork. So far so good.
But I just heard tell of a BRT (large breed) with acute pancreatitis, and they as one of the meats they were home feeding was pork........ Pork what I don't know.
My dogs get real meat and veggies for their dinner, and to be used as training treats. Sometimes I dry the meat - for a firmer texture etc. Only in a pinch do I use store bought treats, and then I try to keep it really simple like pure liver treats no additives etc.
