NEVER!!!! I worked for as a veterinary technician at a large 6 doctor practice for more than 10 years. I took a course in small animal nutrition. Dogs in paticular tend to suffer from something called pancreatitis upon eating pork products. You can research why this is if you care to, you might want to check out the web site for Hill's pet food products as they have great information on dog health in general. As far ar them getting worms from eating pork, that is no more true for them as it would be for us, it is trichonosis, which comes from eating undercooked pork. It was eye opening to work there. About 80% of our clients came from dogs developing diarrhea and vomiting from eating human food. (that and fleas) it was only about 15-20 % non-preventable health issues. Good luck, and good health to your pets!!

Yes, dogs can eat pork, just be careful with ham, some dogs' stomachs are sensitive to it and it may give them diarrhea.

Dogs are carnivores. Pigs are meat. Yes, dogs should eat pork.

Sure, if they like it. Like many people know, they shouldn't eat chocolate, but a lesser known fact is that they should not eat onions either, as they contain a chemical that can be lethal to dogs.

Lean pork is okay in moderation.

A little won't hurt. Avoid a lot of fat (bacon ). Basically though, dogs are best off eating dog food. That's why they call it "dog food".
P.S. Animals don't get worms from food!
