Can Dogs Eat Pork?


Recommended Posts


didnt think you could feed it but only bones i can get are pork

 

 

:hmm:Never liked feeding the dogs on pork,...

 

I found that the leg bones splintered badly.

However, when the farm lads butcher a few porkers, I often scrounge a head for my curs,...they love em :yes:

The husband of a teaching assistant I used to work with was a butcher and gave me a couple of pigs' heads once. Hilarious sight watching old Rusty pick it up from behind and reverse into his kennel looking like some kind of chimera.

The old books used to advise against pork as it could carry the trichinosis parasite. Since it was eradicated from this country in the 80's (I believe;)) it is safe to feed british pork. I have no idea about imported meat though.

Pi likes it, and a good pigs foot is excellent gum/tooth massage. I wouldn't feed the bacon or ham bits that sometimes come in the bags I get from the butcher though.

Pighunters over here feed pork to their dogs, although with my fussy lot, they'll turn their noses up to pork in favour of a nice possum. As the saying goes "Fresh is best". Back home in Stoke I fed dogs fresh tripe from the abattoirs, but man did it stink and you can get split pig heads from the butchers for $1, although that was a while ago. All in all, if the dogs do well on it and you have a regular worming regime, it can't hurt, better, healthier and probably cheaper than shop bought tucker, cheers, G

I feed pork from time to time, with no problems. Some of the dogs have slightly loose stools, but no worse than when they are fed any other meat they are not used to. After a couple of days their guts adjust.

Sorry, I hit add reply on accident before I was done. Anyway what I was getting at is we have external parasites and I must skin the pigs. Most of the meat is cut off the carcus and some feed to the dogs and the other is frozen for later. The guts remain in the torso. The torso is then wrapped in a huge garbage bag and then placed in the freezer for 4 or 5 days to kill internal parasites. The torso is then cut up with an ax and feed to the dogs. During the time it takes to freeze the torso, the other meat is usually fed during this time.. Sometimes I will cut out a lot of the hide and scrape it. Then twist it up and let it dry into rawhide. The dogs love chewing on the dried rawhide.

The dogs are also on a good wormer

Oh, I figured you had wild boar running around the country side. Maybe you do but just can't hunt them do to governmental polices. Here they are considered pests and there is no season on them nor is there any limit to how many you can in a day or year. Free dog food for those people who have access to wild pigs and who feed raw meet.
