Can cats or dogs eat sausage?
Cats: Should be careful · Dogs: Should be careful — Sai Oua is made from minced pork. Usually use pork belly that has a lot of fat. Mixed with curry paste made from lots of garlic and shallots, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, turmeric, and fish sauce before being stuffed and grilled until cooked through. Garlic and shallots are Allium plants that the VCA confirms destroy red blood cells in dogs and cats in all forms, whether raw or cooked. High levels of pork fat are also a risk factor for pancreatitis in dogs, according to the ASPCA. (In cats, the ASPCA links pancreatitis more to liver and enteritis than fat.) And seasoned fish sauces add more sodium than necessary. Roasting until thoroughly cooked reduces the risk of bacteria to some extent but does not reduce the toxic effects of garlic. Avoid giving sausage. If you want to try it, Only pure pork without curry paste is given in very small quantities. and observe digestive symptoms after eating
