Is Beef safe for dogs?

Safe for dogs

Plain, thoroughly cooked, unseasoned lean beef is a safe and excellent source of protein for dogs.

Lean beef that has been thoroughly cooked and left plain is a great protein source and features in many dog foods. Trim off excess fat before serving, and cut it into suitably sized pieces. Do not add salt, sauces, marinades, onion or garlic, and never feed seasoned mince, as these seasonings can be harmful and the extra fat and salt are best avoided.
