Is Lamb safe for dogs?

Safe for dogs

Plain cooked lean lamb is safe for dogs in moderation, but trim the fat and keep portions modest as it is a fatty meat.

Plain, thoroughly cooked lean lamb is a good protein source and safe for most dogs in moderation. Because lamb is fattier than some meats, trim away visible fat and keep portions small to avoid stomach upset. Serve it unseasoned, with no salt, sauces, onion or garlic, and never give cooked lamb bones, which can splinter.
