Gyū • 牛 • Beef
Beef is relatively healthy for dogs being high in protein, iron (heme-iron that prevents anemia), zinc, selenium and vitamins B12, B3 and B6.
A protein-rich diet is important for your dog as it provides the energy your dog needs, and a lean source of beef is a great option. Beef can provide the essential fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins that give your dog a healthy coat, skin, joints, and strong muscles. Omega-3 in beef can also help with skin problems.
Although usually high in fat, red meat is not known to cause arteriosclerosis in dogs like in humans and there are plenty of beef sources that are leaner and low in fat.
