Pig ears have a high fat content and would certainly not be the treat of choice for dogs with weight problems, or those prone to pancreatitis.

If given in large quantities (as compared to the size of the dog or puppy), Pig ears can also cause loose stools.

The bottom line is moderation.

Pig's ear treats have a high fat content and can be fattening, eventually leading to obesity. They can also cause stomach upsets in some dogs. Because they are high in fat, they can irritate the pancreas, causing pancreatitis in susceptible dogs.
