I completely understand why you're worried, and I'm here to help. It sounds like you're in a tough position, and I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. Feeding your dogs something special like steak can be a heartfelt way to offer comfort, as long as a few precautions are taken.
If your dogs are usually on a specific diet due to health issues, like kidney disease or pancreatitis, it's important to be careful with sudden dietary changes. However, if they don't have dietary restrictions, a small, well-cooked piece of steak (free of seasonings, bones, and excess fat) is generally safe and can be a nice treat.
Keep an eye on your dogs as they eat, observing for any signs of discomfort, vomiting, or diarrhea. If they show any distress after eating, it might be best to stick with their regular food, as their systems might be sensitive right now.
Signs to watch for that could indicate more serious issues include respiratory distress, discomfort, or an inability or disinterest to eat altogether. If any of these arise, consulting a vet promptly is important.
If you're uncertain about this or need further guidance, I recommend booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We can discuss your dogs’ health specifics and ensure they’re as comfortable as possible during this time.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
