Is feeding my dog cooked ham bad for him or posionous to him?

Answer 1

giving any animal table scraps is never a good idea, Dog foods are nutritionally balanced, and are best for the animal. Animals get hooked on scraps, and it is usually hard to break the habit.

Answer 2

Usually working dogs are fed raw meat and domestic dogs (such as yours) are fed cooked meat. Although really it is up to you, there isn't a massive right or wrong as long as you keep their weight right and go for the healthier options (avoid chemicals as much as possible), local butchers some times have their own slaughter houses they should be pretty chemical free as well as being cheaper. You're right about not giving them cooked bones. Also you need to be careful with which bones as some will shatter (such as chicken bone).

Answer 3

It's not poisinous,but is not good either. Too high fat and salt content. Plus the way the that ham is processed can cause intestinal issues.

Answer 4

It is bad for him because of the high fat and salt content in ham. Dogs aren't able to handle high amounts of fat and salt.

Answer 5

Believe that ham is not good for dogs. Chicken or beef or lamb is much better for him.

Answer 6

You need to get you dog off of that and get the dog eating
dry dog food. Vet told me that too much of human food can
cause acid in the dogs bellies. They become sick and irritated.

Answer 7

no, cooked ham is ok, just make sure that there's no gristle that he can chew on - also make sure that there's no onions in it - onions are poisonous to dogs.

Answer 9
