Bacon
What it is
Cured and smoked pork belly, used in small amounts for flavor.
Other ways this ingredient gets described
- This is a flavor enhancer more than a protein source. A cured meat like bacon wouldn’t provide much in the way of nutritional value, but dogs generally love the flavor. It’s added to many treats and some foods.
Potential benefits for dogs
Highly palatable, which is why it appears in treats and toppers. It is high in fat and salt, so it is used in small amounts.
