Is it safe for my dog to eat sausages after recovering from parvo?

Question

Can my dog eat sausages after getting and surviving parvo? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 22 days old | 10 lbs

Dr. Elizabeth · Accepted Answer

I don't recommend to give a dog sausage intended for humans at any time in their life. This type of food product is very fatty and this can cause dogs to have weight gain, diarrhea or vomiting or cause a severe pancreatitis. It also commonly contains spices. Additionally, pets who survive parvo will need a bland diet for at least 2 weeks after they recover. The cells of the intestines will benefit from a bland diet and it takes that long for them to fully recover. Sausage is not a bland food product. Once Pepper is through the full recovery phase, sausage that is specifically made for dogs is fine to give him (it will contain less fat and no spices). I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
