In general, it is not a good idea to feed any cured meat to your dog because of the high salt and nitrate content of bacon, ham, etc. Also, your own dog and its own individual health status can make a very big difference to the answer to this question.

However, if you have a normal, healthy dog a little bacon should not harm it, although bacon should never be fed in large amounts to any animal.

If your dog has any health issues, in particular if he has anything wrong with his kidneys, you should not feed him bacon. Having said that, you might find that your kidney-impaired dog craves salt bacon and ham and seems almost to need it.

If in any doubt at all about any aspect of your pet's healthcare you should always consult your own vet because they will be able to monitor the situation and give you best advise.
