Bacon, bacon grease, ham, and fat trimmed off meat or bones contains a lot of salt and/or fat and at the least can cause indigestion, vomiting, and diarrhea in both dogs and cats. These foods can also cause pancreatitis, a serious, potentially deadly inflammation of the pancreas.

But Sizzlers, which lists its first ingredient as "meat (including pork)" was found to contain cattle and chicken meat as well as pork.

Preservatives to avoid include:

• BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole)
• BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)
• Ethoxyquin.
• Nitrates/Nitrites.
• Propyl Gallate.
• Carrageenan.
• MSG.
• Sodium Hexametaphosphate.

Bacon isn't recommended even as an occasional treat for dogs since it's so high in salt and fat. This rich food can even cause pancreatitis, which can be life-threatening for dogs. Signs of pancreatitis include lethargy, dehydration, vomiting, loss of appetite, hunched back and fever.
