Beef steak can be very fatty and difficult to digest. A human who has had lap band surgery cannot eat steak because it very difficult to digest. Many people do use lean ground beef in their dogs' diets.

As Teresa indicated, it is very important that foods you are feeding are not seasoned like so many people foods are.

If you are feeding all fresh foods, the diet needs to be balanced or you risk making your dog very sick. Protein needs to be balanced with calcium for instance. This is very difficult to do for a dog without a recipe from a vet nutritionist and usually a supplement like Balance It.

My other concern with table food is the risk of pancreatitis, if the wrong foods are fed.
