      We eat a lot of bacon in our house, and I always thought it was bad for our dogs, so we don’t give them any. But I snuck a bit for my dog when my husband wasn’t looking, and our pup LOVED it. Now, he won’t leave me alone when I’m cooking bacon. Can I give him a little bit every day? Is bacon really that bad for dogs? I can’t resist his begging eyes! HELP!

      Although not toxic, bacon is not the healthiest treat for consumption. Just like ham, both raw and cooked bacon contains quite high levels of salt and fat. This isn’t good for our pets in large quantities. The high salt content may make your dog thirsty and drink more than usual. Stomach upsets are quite common too.

      We go into some more detail in our articles on raw bacon and bacon grease.
