Halachot and Customs
Is It Permitted to Feed a Dog Food Made From Pork?
Question
Is it permitted to give a dog food made from pork meat or pork skin? Assuming it is permitted, can it be kept inside the house?
Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello,
Although pork is forbidden to eat, it is not forbidden for benefit, and therefore it is permitted to give such food to a dog. And according to the strict law, there is no prohibition against keeping it in the house.
Blessings,
