Things to know before you feed your dog chicken
Although chicken has a reputation for its mildness, you may be surprised to know there are some possible risks associated with this meat:
Avoid salmonella or other bacterial infections by cooking chicken thoroughly before feeding it to your dog.
Plain chicken is best for your pooch. Don’t add any seasoning, onions, or garlic when cooking your dog’s chicken at home.
Chicken is the third most prevalent food allergy for dogs. If you think your furry friend may be suffering from a chicken allergy, remove the ingredient from their diet and contact your vet right away.
Keep bones out of your dog’s plate. They are a choking hazard and can even puncture your pup’s stomach and intestines.
Stick to the chicken breast, which is low in fat and healthier for your dog. Fatty foods can lead to pancreatitis in dogs.

Skinless and boneless chicken breasts are used in this homemade dog food recipe as the white meat is easier on your dogs digestion.
The chicken and white rice are cooked together in a pot, then mixed with lightly cooked vegetables. We added the vegetables for extra vitamins but these can be omitted if you need a bland meal.
We shred the cooked chicken breasts so its easier to eat but you could cut the cooked chicken breast into small pieces for the size of your dog.
Always check with your veterinarian before introducing any new foods into your dog’s diet.
