I agree. I would NEVER give a cat or a dog bacon grease. It's DISGUSTING. Salmon oil is healthier.

my old vcet said that it was okay to do so and that it helped keep pets warm in the winter. they burn fat to keep warm during the winter.
SERIOUSLY? Do you eat it? I would NEVER give bacon grease to my pets. It's unhealthy and has TOO much sodium. Your vet doesn't sound very bright.

I used to do this years ago but now the thinking is that it isn't good for the dog/s. I haven't done it with the last two dogs or the current two. I've read conflicting articles on it so I'm not sure what the real story is with this. I think maybe it's how they are processing the bacon but that's just my opinion.

@goldensrbest Of course treats are something everyone, human and animal enjoy once in awhile! I think it is when the diet is day to day full of bad fats and leftovers that are not healthy. A treat is just that. A once in a while special tidbit

Besides it being too salty, feeding your dog bacon grease isn’t a good idea because it’s too high in fat and can cause pancreatitis.

30 years ago when we ate bacon and had a dogs I did give them bacon fat, but I didn't know any better.

Coconut oil is high in calories, but safe for dogs. I use it to make organic peanut butter biscuits.
The fats in bacon are about 50% monounsaturated. Unless the dog is tied up outside, no need to "fatten them up" to keep warm.
