Bacon Grease
Did you guys know this? Because I didn't and I paid dearly for it.
My wife likes to mix bacon grease with our dog's food on Sat. mornings after our "big family breakfast".
Anyway, apparently, she gave him too much and he almost died. Our dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis, almost died and spent five days in the doggy hospital. He is recovering now, but still has no appetite. We keep trying to get him to eat, but he won't. Hopefully, that will end soon.
From what the vet said, because of domestication, dogs cannot process high levels of fat. And, guess what is in bacon grease? yup, huge levels of fat.
I learned an expensive lesson and thought I would pass this on. I had only heard that bacon grease was good for a dog's coat, I had never heard it could be deadly.
Other than chocolate, any tips you want to pass on that some of us might be unaware of (regardless of species)?
