Why is it bad to give pork to dogs2007-11-25 2:56:19Answers:

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.

Too much fat and grease content. It causes my dogs to barf for the next three days.

Because pork is full of parasites and the parasites manifest in your animals.

I don't think it is bad to give cooked pork to dogs, but if you are giving it raw pork often contains tiny parisite worms which in the end will also invade the dogs intestines.

Too much fat; also if not properly cooked it carries a disease called trichinosis.
