Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 boneless skinless chicken breast about 8 oz / 225 g raw
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • water only no salt, oil, butter, garlic, onion or bouillon

Method
 

  1. Cover the chicken with water, bring to a boil and simmer 12 to 15 minutes until it reaches 165°F (74°C) with no pink inside.
  2. Remove the chicken and cool it. Keep the cooking water and skim off any fat.
  3. Cook the rice in the skimmed chicken water or plain water until very soft.
  4. Shred the chicken into small pieces with two forks.
  5. Mix 1 part chicken with 2 parts rice and cool to lukewarm before serving.

Notes

Feed small meals 3 to 4 times a day for about 2 to 5 days, then return to your dog's normal food. Chicken and rice is not complete nutrition. Call your vet if signs last more than a day or two, or if there is blood, vomiting or lethargy. Refrigerate 3 days or freeze 2 months.
