My dog ate uncooked bacon off the ground. Is it dangerous for her?

Question

When out for a walk within the last hour. my 12 month old Beagle found a slice of uncooked bacon. It was on the ground yesterday too, but today, she grabbed it and swallowed it before I could get it out of her mouth. How dangerous is this to her? Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Female | spayed | 11 months and 28 days old | 23 lbs

A small piece of raw bacon likely won't pose too big a risk. At worst, you may see some minor stomach upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea). Either can typically be managed at home with a short fast followed by a bland diet fed in small, frequent amounts until symptoms resolve. Transition slowly to the regular diet afterwards. Symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian include persistent stomach upset, loss of appetite or abdominal pain.
