Can cats or dogs eat Isaan sausage?
Cats: Be careful · Dogs: Be careful — Isaan sausage is made from minced pork marinated with rice and lots of minced garlic before being fried or grilled. Some stores don't marinate long enough to cook thoroughly. Garlic intestines is an Allium plant, according to the VCA, and the pickling process and salt used to preserve food also increase the risk of high sodium levels. And meat that isn't cooked thoroughly is at risk of being contaminated with the same bacteria as normal raw meat. Avoid giving Isaan sausage If necessary, choose portions that are thoroughly cooked in very small quantities and infrequently.
