Raw pork is definitely bad for dogs. It can carry parasites like trichinosis which are dangerous and can even be fatal.
Cooked pork, on the other hand, is generally safe. However, there are some things to keep in mind:
* Fat content: Pork can be high in fat, which can lead to weight gain and pancreatitis in dogs.
* Bones: Bones, even cooked, are a choking hazard and can splinter, causing internal damage.
* Seasonings: Many seasonings and spices used in pork dishes are toxic to dogs (onions, garlic, salt, etc.).
Therefore, it's best to give your dog cooked pork in moderation and without added seasonings. It's also a good idea to consult with your vet to see if pork is appropriate for your specific dog's diet and health.
Alternatives to pork: There are plenty of other safe and healthy protein sources for your dog, such as chicken, turkey, fish, and beef.
