Thank you for submitting your question regarding Kevin. I would not give the pork for several reasons. Sometimes pork can be a bit fatty. This can make a dog prone to a condition known as pancreatitis. The disease can be triggered by high fat foods and is characterized by vomiting and diarrhea. Next, puppy food is designed and balanced to support growth. If he is eating pork, he will consume less puppy food. This has the potential to affect his growth and development. I hope this information helps!
