Pretty sure bacon and cheese in moderation isn't going to kill my dog, since he's been eating both for 12+ years.
-
I'm also very surprised by bacon being on the No-list.
-
Why make things bacon flavored then? Where's my Tide Pods flavored go-gurts?
-
Maybe the sodium and/or nitrate load? It's not that great for people, either.
-
-
It's the "* foods without an asterisk are not poisonous but should only be eaten in small amounts of ever" and bacon doesn't have an asterisk, which confuses me. So bacon is poisonous to dogs?
-
This is probably just being extreme and calling the carcinogens that are in some bacon products (most in USA?) poisonous to dogs, when they're also poisonous to humans by that definition.
-
-
My dog lives for cheese.
-
Some dog food in fact contain cheese, so yeah..
-
Well by definition, because all cheese is dog food, according to all dogs.
-

Yea, I callin BS right out of the gate.
I've never seen any dog have an issue with bacon. Hell, all my vet acquaintances years ago poured leftover bacon fat onto their kibble.
It seems like cool guides is just be a bad format for most things as it lacks nuance.
And then you have the judgement of whoever makes the list - pretty much every list I see here, someone comments how wrong it is.
-
Several of the * are also on there just because of high sugar. Bacons likely because of fat content. Lazy infographic.
-
And salmon being in the completely safe. Raw or undercooked salmon can be deadly due to a possible parasite or bacteria, don't recall exactly.
-
It’s more that bacon is so goddamn salty. It’s not that they can’t ingest bacon, it’s that their bodies will have to work really hard to deal with that amount of salt. It’s just horrible for them.
Although, this list is not really true. Spinach? I’m like 90% sure dogs can eat spinach. And they can eat cucumbers but not pickles?
Well, I guess that amount of vinegar is pretty dicey.
The biggest part of processed human food is the salt and sugar content. Neither of which are good for dogs. Give your dogs meat, some raw veg that isn’t a nightshade (avocados are also bad for them, their bodies can’t break down those complex fats), eggs, eggshells. These are all good. Processed and cooked foods are bad because of what we do to make it taste good to us.

Make sure you look at the ingredients of your peanut butter before giving to your dog; some contain xylitol which is poisonous.
-
My dog used to love spinach. We only gave him a few leaves on occasion, but it was his favorite food. He lived to be an old man dog. Miss him sometimes.
-
I wish there were more info on like how poisonous some of these are. Like, I would never intentionally give a dog chocolate, but if I'm eating like a chocolate cake or something and some crumbs get on the floor do I have to dive on it like a grenade to keep my hungry pupper off it, or is a crumb here and there fine?
Basically I just wanna know how panicked to be as a messy eater
-
Chocolate crumbs are not going to kill your dog
-
-
Hang on, they can eat cucumbers but they can't eat pickles?
-
I'd guess that it's sodium in that case since pickles have an asterisk next to it.
-
-
Bacon ?
-
A lot of dogs are allergic to pork, not just bacon. Don't give them ham.
-
I need a list like this for cats. For... reasons.
