Steak, how would you prepare it for a saluki?

I got 3 slices of beef steak sitting in my fridge, especially bought for Eddie. I have no idea what to do with it, as I became vegetarian 12 years ago and never liked the taste of meat anyway... Because of his illness recently I decided to give him 'real' meat mixed with his usual James Wellbeloved kibbles to jazz up his life (I'd been dodging handling raw meat due to my squeamishness)! I've given him cooked turkey so far and he's obviously loved it.

How would you prepare beef steaks for your dog? Should I cook it and cut it into pieces or can I give it to him raw at all? I also have some minced beef and duck pieces (also raw) in the freezer as well.

Any tips?

I would cut it up a bit and give it raw (mine are on raw or partly on raw), but if Eddie isn't used to it, then perhaps cooking it slightly would be easier on his tummy.

Yeh, Id'e cut it up a bit, especialy until he gets used to it!
Mind you, it helps their jaws when they rip meat, dont it Vera?
My Aladdin has fresh mince raw sometimes, but Iv'e started frying it in in its own fat, and mixing an egg in it that I have scrambled!

I boil the chickens, or he has it raw.
He has his offel, fried now mostly, but liver raw sometimes.

On the rare occasions that he has pork, its cooked well.
Lamb breast is boiled as well.

Me! well I am fed up of finding ways to make my egg and chips look more exiting, lol.

Giving it whole won't do any harm. He has an impressive set of gnashers and will deal with it in no time Mine eat all their meat raw and whole, they manage to make light work of a chicken, so a steak would be no trouble. They actually enjoy chewing and ripping at the meat and it works the neck and shoulder muscles as well.

Unless you're called Dylan, in which case you'd rather choke on a large piece of meat than chew it.

I gave Eddie the beef steak raw, cut up in bite-size pieces. He loved it! Can all kinds of meat be given raw to dogs?

I feed mine, chicken (bones as well), green tripe, beef ribs, lamb ribs and neck, turkey necks, rabbit, offal, and ox tail. You need to be a bit more careful with the weight bearing bones, like thighs etc, but to be honest my two can devour an entire chicken no sweat. My Weim is not too keen on gamey meats like rabbits, but Stella doesn't mind.

I was told to boil game, and to be carefull with raw pork!
But thats third hand talk.

Pork is quite rich so you should not give too much, but I have never heard that you have to boil game before

pork is ok in small quanitities, beef is ideal, cicken rabbit etc contains very little to substain the dog physically so should not be used as a primary feed.

Game thats caught in field should be frozen for a month , this will kill off any worms , saving you in the long run, I like miy lot as worm free as possible, Fish is alos very good for dogs, plenty of omega oils etc

Mr Gun sir!
I heard that about freezing game on THL I think!
But if you cook it, itsd ok straight away aint it?
