Moreover, the dog’s consumption of such food can negatively affect the functioning of the pancreas.

Also, do not forget that there is quite a lot of salt in sausage. For humans, this amount of sodium chloride is relatively safe, but for dogs - not. Excess salt in the animal's body can lead to serious poisoning.

It is worth emphasizing that smoked foods also pose a danger to dogs.

Eating such food by a dog can lead to irritation of the mucous membranes, as well as serious problems with the liver and gall bladder.

Remember: you cannot include sausages and smoked foods in the diet of your barking four-legged friend.
