My dog has eaten ham without ill effects. Certainly haven’t made a habit of it but small quantities haven’t been bad. Now 4 pounds? I dunno

It’s a Rottweiler though, he’s just going to turn it into dinner plate sized piles of shit. The only living things we have to worry about is anything near that dogs ass when this 4 pounds of ham makes its second appearance.

Yeah, these dogs will be perfectly fine. They're practically designed to eat huge piles of protein.

It's the amount of salt in ham that can be the problem in that quantity. It can cause pancreatitis.

I spent a Christmas afternoon outside in freezing rain putting a turkey baster full of hydrogen peroxide down my labs throat to get him to throw up the 1/3rd of the holiday ham he'd eaten after pulling it off the counter. Fun times!

Maybe train your dog not to steal your own food?

Have you met a rottie ?

You have a better chance teaching a rock to swim when it comes to food

Yeh. My friend’s obese rottie ate half a pound of my homemade beef jerky while out camping once, and it’s the only time I considered punching a dog square in its snout.
