No, as others have said, Slim Jims aren't recommended for dogs at all, in fact, I wouldn't give it to my dog even as a treat.
Feed your dog dog food. I highly recommend Science Diet. Don't get canned food because that tends to be higher in fat contents, and it tastes better I guess because dogs tend to gorge themselves on that stuff and become overweight. Most owners have trouble refusing their dogs food.
For treats, you can select from a wide variety from pet (food) stores. When you give a treat to you dog, don't give it "just because," make him work for it. For example, reward good behavior. This prevents the dog from getting spoiled. Also, treats shouldn't make up the dog's diet, its like eating candy for them, and the will get sick if they eat too much.
If your dog has any sort of digestive problems (or begins to develop any), or gains/loses weight, I would take him to the vet asap, so you can work out a new diet.

Which food is safe for your dog?
DOG FOOD. Thats what its made for; dogs. If you want to give your dog simple around the house treat, use small peices of sandwich meat, or you could do what most people do and buy DOG treats.
Slim Jims are not good for people, let alone dogs. They are chock full of nasty preservatives, and generally not healthy.
Again, there is a reason that make dog food...To feed it to dogs.

I assume you are talking about the Slim Jim beef sticks? They won't hurt your dog, but they are loaded with fat and grease. Some dogs' stomaches can't handle high fat and grease.
Something that would be a similar treat for your dog you can get in the pet isle is Pup-aroni (I think that is how it's spelled). It is a red bag full of meat sticks that don't have all of the fat that Slim Jims have.
Mainly, though, stuff with fat and grease in them won't hurt your dog unless their stomach happens to be sensitive to it. However, such things should be given sparingly, because it can cause unhealthy weight gain.
