We have been given a large pack of raw bacon and can have more if we want it.
We feed the dogs mostly on dry kibble but they have regular meals of fish or chicken ( we dont mix kibble with these meals).
What are peoples thoughts on feeding raw bacon ?
It is in the freezer at the moment.
Thanks

The odd bit is fine but the high salt content makes it a no no for actual meals.

It's a no from me too.  I will give the odd bit of rind or trim but wouldn't feed large amounts.  Actually the dogs would have to fight us for bacon, we all love it :)

Thanks thought that would be the case.

Soak for 24 hours in water drain and repeat then cook in lots of water it should then be OK to be fed about twice a week but never feed it raw even if it has been soaked.

Why not feed it raw?  My understanding is that the worm/cyst which is endemic in the US/Canada isn't here in the UK.  So it depends where the bacon is from - I feed raw trotters.  Personally, after soaking it well I would feed it raw - probably a bit at a time w/ other meals.  I am a big fan of variety.

However, some dogs seem to tolerate pork better than others . . .

Why not feed it raw?

Because boiling it helps remove the salt and chemicals used in curing. Feeding raw may be fine I have no idea but as it is not good for us to eat quantities of processed meat and it may well not be a good idea for dogs either.

I would not due to the salt. same with smoked sausages that i know lots like for training. i find there is lots of treats out there without the high salt intake.

I wouldn't worry about feeding it as an added extra to my lot's meals but then it would be shared between 10 of them so less to go round lol.
