Westy76 546 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 I happened to mention I feed my dogs pig trotters and raw pork(boned out head meat) as i get alot of these through the year,and was told this may cause pancreitus(spelling) and death by non stop stratching? Anyone else feed pork and is it safe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chook1 184 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 To much fat in a dogs diet can cause pancreitus, so yes if you feed to much pig meat with the amount of fat there is on trotters a dog could come down with it, trotters should only really be given as a occasional treat.

Westy76 546 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 There not fed exclusively on pork but i hate to throw away good meat,the head meat really hasn't got a great deal of fat in it by the time I've boned and trimmed it,trotters are fed as a treat so is it ok to carry on feeding like this?

chook1 184 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 So long as its not over kill on fat then i wouldn't worry to much, so dogs react to - to much fat others don't. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
