Devoted Dad Saving Last Bite of Expensive Steak for Golden Retriever Is the Best Buddy Ever
Steak is one of those things that a dog will never say no to. In all the movies, if the bad guy needs to lure them away, they use a big steak and it works every time. It's like Garfield and lasagna!
One dog dad knows this, and when he went out to a nice Father's Day dinner, he was still thinking of his fur-baby. On Monday, June 17th, his human daughter posted the evidence:
Josie Wilde's dad is the best for this. It shows off what kind of dad he is - dog dad, at least. Josie didn't get anything!
Glen's dog is obviously very well loved - as he's unboxing the last bite that he saved for his favorite daughter, you can just see the excitement in her body language. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened semi-frequently!
Stormi has officially made it big: in addition to getting a bite of steak, she's made it to 1.7 million views and counting. Everyone loves her, and a follow-up video confirmed what everyone already knew. She is the sweetest girl ever indeed! To commemorate her big break, I think she should get a steak of her very own!
Best Cuts of Beef for Dogs
Are we feeding our dogs about $2 worth of steak in one single bite regularly? No, probably not. Not only is it expensive; it's not great for them. A lot of the most expensive and popular cuts have a high fat percentage.
Red meat is high in Omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and protein, and can be fed to many dogs daily without any issue - so long as you're going after the right cuts. If you've spoken to your vet and want to introduce red meat into your pup's diet, you'll want something leaner, like:
- Sirloin tips
- Top round
- Flank
- Trip-tip
- Other red meats like bison are also a great option!
A little bit of fat is okay (and inevitable), but you should steer clear of giving your dog the gristle that you cut off when you're serving it, which is something a lot of dog parents do. The thought is that "more fat equals a shinier coat," which is true, but healthy fats will work just as well. Red meat is great for coat health without all the fatty bits!
When you're preparing a cut of red meat for your dog, you should cook it without seasoning: sear it in coconut oil (which is also good for their coat) and then cut it up into bite-sized pieces. While they can handle tougher cuts, they need to be small enough to prevent choking. Stormi's bite was just big enough!
