But I saw some raw marrow bones about the same size at my local supermarket the other day, and I wondered if I could make my own for my dogs. I know some people feed their dogs raw meat and bones, but I would rather stick to...

How bad is bacon?
Posted to: Nutrition & Exercise
Is bacon really bad for dogs? Eli goes nuts when he smells bacon cooking (which is only on the weekends). We give him just a tiny bite as a treat. Is this a horrible thing to do? It's fully cooked, actually crisp. I don't want to hurt him so should I stop doing that?
