How to boil chicken for dogs

Unlike their pet parents, dogs love plain boiled chicken. Their tummies don’t do well with seasoning and their palates actually prefer the natural flavors of meat (perhaps it brings out their wolfy side). Here’s an easy step-by-step process for you to whip up a dish that your pup will love:

Step 1: Place chicken breasts in a medium-size pot with water.

Step 2: Cover the pot and bring the water to boil.

Step 3: Boil the chicken for 12 minutes over high heat or until completely cooked.

Step 4: Shred the cooked chicken and let it cool off to avoid burns.

Step 5: Feed your dog a small portion and store leftovers for up to four days.

What else can I add to my pet’s chicken?

To enhance Fido’s diet, you can add other ingredients that make meals more filling and nutritional. Here are some ideas:

  • Plain yogurt: Use it to boost your dog’s protein and calcium intake.
  • Canned pumpkin: This is a great source of vitamin A and helps with digestion.
  • Cooked veggies: Green beans, carrots, and broccoli add fiber to your pup’s diet. Just keep it under 10% to avoid digestive issues.
  • Dog food: Mix the fresh chicken with wet or dry food for a tasty treat and extra flavor.
  • Vitamin supplements: Sprinkle powdered dog vitamins on your pooch’s meals to make sure they get all the nutrients they need.

    • What dogs should avoid all garlic and allium root vegetables?

    Anemic Dogs: Dogs already diagnosed with anemic conditions should avoid garlic or any member of the allium family of vegetables.

    Japanese Dog Breeds: Japanese Chins, Akita, Sheba Inu, and Spitz are all more susceptible to garlic toxicity or poisoning.

    Dogs with Lupus: Lupus is a disease that causes the dog’s immune system to attack body tissues and organs. We don’t think of it as a dog disease, but it is.

    Puppies: Puppies don’t start producing red blood cells until they are 6-8 weeks old. You should never give puppies garlic, or any food containing allium vegetables.
