| i'm not sure how good it is for them, but if you do decide to give it to them make sure you boil it. The reason you boil it it is to keep the fat off of it. That is what my vet told me when charlie got sick,and had to eat hamburger and rice. Make sure you give them kibble too, otherwise their teeth will get really bad. Also, look up something called the BARF diet. It is based on meats and stuff, i don't know anything about it though

| I don’t think it would be that healthy for them being that it’s so high in fat. My friend recently told me that when she had her first dog, she thought she was doing a good thing by spoiling the Chihuahua everyday with steaks and ground beef. Well, the Chi only lived to be 4 yrs. old because of the diet she had it on. Her vet said that it died of health complications due to the high in fat diet; I personally would stay away from it.

| if you give it to them boil it in plain water, it looks gross to me, but they love it. And i wouldn't give it to them that often maybe only as a treat, like bella bear said it is high in fat. plus i dont think it has all the nutrients puppies/dogs need. ohh bellabear my grandma betty fed her chi, that kinda stuff all the time and he lived to be like 13, maybe she got lucky and he was a fluke!

| When I make dinner using ground beef I give Gus a tablespoon before seasoning it. He loves it but he only gets it 1 or 2 times a week.

| I heard that ground beef cooked without any condiments is good once in a while. Also boiled chicken. |

| I used to give it to mine but quit because he started to vomit everytime I fed him some. I think it was the fat in it or just his fussy stomach. |
