Maybe not. Chorizo is not a recommended source of protein for your dog as it’s high in fat and salt, and it may be processed with seasonings that are unsafe for your dog. If your dog eats undercooked or contaminated chorizo, she may get sick from a parasite infection called Trichinosis. Avoid feeding your dog any kind of meat that contains garlic or onion powder as they are toxic to your dog.
Symptoms to Watch For
If your dog consumes contaminated or undercooked chorizo, watch for these symptoms:
- Nausea
- Upset stomach
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Lethargy
