I am really afraid when my brother give some pork to my dogs. As much as possible I don't want them to give some pork because maybe they can catch disease from it. Is it safe to feed pork to the dogs?

Oh my.. That's sad. Bring your dog to vet immediately for the dog stop from suffering.

I think so, I have little knowledge about the disease a dog might get eating pork. Me, I do let my dogs eat anything they want. but when I feel they are full, they like to eat after eating, I don't let them eat. I just command them to drink water. May I know what kind of disease a dog might get from pork? Maybe that it is true, that is why some of the dog owner only feeds their dog with dog food and nothing else.

Yes I am one of those who don't what to give anything to my dogs I want to be sure that they are healthy. And thank God they don't get sick or any disease that encounter for the whole year. But I'm still afraid because my brother giving them pork and my one dog much like it than dog foods. i don't want them to suffer from anything so I gave them daily vitamins for them not to get sick even they eat pork sometimes.

I think it is OK. If the pork is good for humans, then it should be good for dogs.
