Can cats or dogs eat pork?
Cats: Be careful · Dogs: Be careful — Pork sausage is made from raw minced pork and pork skin marinated with cooked rice and minced garlic. It goes through a sour fermentation process without heat that sterilizes it. Raw meat is more likely to be contaminated with bacteria like salmonella and listeria, according to the VCA on raw food. This can cause vomiting and diarrhea in both dogs and cats. The garlic mixed in is a plant in the Allium group that destroys red blood cells. You should never give fermented pork to dogs or cats because it is raw meat that has not been heated. If your pet secretly eats it, monitor its digestive tract closely for 2-3 days and see a veterinarian if it develops fever or severe diarrhea.
