Hi all. This is Rocket's lovable human toy speaking. I wrote the other day about ocassionally putting bacon grease on Rocket's food (usually once a weak or so) and he loves it. I am a little concerned over the health problems Erika mentioned that this might cause and was wondering if any of you have heard of this. (not questioning you, Erika, just wanted a second opinion:)) Alex's family (future inlaws) have done this for years with their dog with no apparent problems. Erika mention the nitrites and preservatives might be harmfull (erika, you didnt mention what kind of problems you had experienced with your dog) Can anyone help me on this? I thought that the extra fat would be good for his coat and since he enjoys it so much, I thought it made a great treat. Hope someone out there can help! Thanks!
