Pork Products ... Ham ?? Someone on another thread posted about feeding her dog ham. Then someone else (a breeder I believe) posted that you should NEVER feed your dogs ham or any other pork products. I hope I don't sound totally ignorant but why is this? I don't feed my dogs ham -- I am only asking this because I'm curious and nosey. :p |
I dont feed it because of all the fat it has but I dont know if thats their reasoning |

I am curious too? I feel awful now, b/c one time I gave TJ and Roxy a 'TINY' pice of deli honey ham once. I had NO IDEA that it was bad for them :eek: :eek: :eek: |
It's not only high in fat, but also in sodium. Feeding a toy dog things like ham, pork chops, etc. is the surest way to guarantee your dog will probably develop pancreatitis. |
I hope someone can answer this. Stump is pretty much m first dog and I've always heard "dont feed a dog ham, onions, chocolate, or grapes." and well my grandma (shes a little country lady who you cant tel otherwise) has had poms since I could remember, and they get ham all the time. I don't feed Stump Ham, but I've never found online where it says don't feed it to dogs. So I'm curious. |
You can look through and bookmark this page. Here is the link: http://mooreshaven.com/pets/dogs/saf...foodslist.html Rich, fatty foods can be very dangerous to dogs susceptible to attacks of pancreatitis. Often you may not know that your dog is susceptible until he is very sick with his first attack. It is often the smaller, more energetic breeds like miniature or toy poodles, cocker spaniels, miniature schauzers, and other small terrier-type dogs who seem particularly prone. However, any dog may have a problem. It is best to avoid these foods altogether. turkey skin bacon, sausages, hot dogs fruit cake, plum pudding deep-fried Signs of pancreatitis generally include an acute onset of vomiting (sometimes with diarrhea) and abdominal pain, which may be evidenced as a hunched posture or "splinting" of the abdomen when picked up. The dog may become very sick quickly and often needs intensive fluid and antibiotic therapy. |

Turkey Skin: Check Bacon: Check Sausage: Check Hot Dogs: Check Man I am a bad owner!! Stump loves him some hot dogs! But thats the only way he will take his Heart Guard, Stuffed inside a hot dog. If we put it in a piece of cheese he will just unwrap the cheese and leave the medicine. So I think a piece a month will be okay. |

I've heard that ham and pork products are very hard for a dog to digest too - mine have never had any - not even a bite - but my husband fed our Cocker Tessa some bacon - and of course she had the poops for 2 days - Lucky for me she is NOT a yorkie and knows how to get me and then go outside lol - I can't say the same for Miss Cheri :p ...(Chanel is very good) |
Yeah, I heard that their systems just can't process all the sodium in ham. |
My friend breeds Cockers and King Charles spaniels and she told me NEVER give a dog dairy products,milk chocolate,cheese,nothing as it will poisen them and kll them. So I never have although when I was young and ad my poodle I knew no better and he ate everything I did! Im vegetarian so it was mainly cheese and chocolate!!!! When Megan my Yorkie became pregnant people told me to give her milk, eggs,dairy products,so I did but not a lot as I didnt know what to do for the best. Anyone know the rules on this? |
Piper has always gotten cottage cheese low fat for breakfast. My vet recommended it since she was so small when we got her, and she wouldn't eat. She loves it. I'm trying to cut back on it, since she really doesn't need it now. |
My vet told me its because pigs eat so much garbage, a little of everything. |
oh no! My husband cooks himself breakfast almost every morning. Eggs with bacon or sausage at least 2 or 3 times a week. Jasmine always begs and he always cooks her bacon or sausage. I'll have to tell him to stop and the little Diva will be mad. You should see them. She barks and he jumps to get her any and everything she wants. Boy does she have him trained. He never gets on to her. He'll just say "Mama is gonna be mad at you" or "Mama is gonna get you for that" Can you believe he's the one that didn't want me to get her. I think he loves her more that me. |
