Is chicken good for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Chicken and rice is a popular recipe that helps dogs who suffer from upset stomachs. Simply prepare white rice without any seasonings and mix it with your dog’s boiled chicken to calm his tummy.
Keep in mind that brown rice is harder for dogs to digest, so white rice is the best way to go. Also, be sure to leave out any onions or garlic — we cant stress this enough. These plants are toxic to dogs and shouldn’t be fed raw, cooked, fried, or powdered.
Can We Cook All of The Chicken?
Even though chicken is a healthy food for dogs, not all parts of the chicken are safe for our dogs to eat. Certain parts can be quite harmful.
Chicken bones, uncooked or cooked, should always be avoided as they can cause a gastrointestinal blockage or perforation. Fatty cuts of meat, skin, and oily meat could be irritating to dogs with sensitive tummies.
Chicken that has been marinated or has had spices added to it, should always be avoided as these could contain harmful ingredients such as onions or garlic which can be toxic to dogs. On the other hand, explore some dog-friendly spice options, such as a dash of spearmint. Only ever feed your dog chicken that you have cooked or have sourced from a company whose recipes meet AAFCO’s standards for a complete & balanced diet, so you can guarantee that they aren’t ingesting anything potentially harmful.
When cooking chicken or turkey for dogs we should use plain, boneless, and skinless chicken breasts or chicken thighs.
When Can We Feed Boiled Chicken to Our Dogs?
Boiled chicken is healthy and nutritious food for your dog. It can be used as a healthy, low-fat treat or you can use it as part of your dog’s main meals. If your dog has a reaction to eating chicken e.g. skin lesions, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. please discontinue the chicken and contact your veterinarian. Some dogs have food allergies or sensitivities to chicken (like they can with any other food).
