What happens if a dog eats too much sausage?

A dog eating too much sausage may cause the following problems. First, sausage is usually rich in fat and salt; too much leads to weight gain and increased kidney burden, causing shedding, severe tear stains, and bad breath.

Second, sausage has many seasonings and artificial additives that burden digestion and may cause diarrhea, vomiting, and indigestion. Finally, sausage usually contains large amounts of sodium and phosphorus; too much may cause bone problems. To protect the dog’s health, avoid feeding too much sausage.
