Bland Dog Food Recipe
A gentle and natural bland dog food recipe made with boiled chicken, white rice, and optional pumpkin puree—perfect for dogs recovering from digestive upset, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Ingredients
1 cup boneless, skinless chicken breast (boiled and shredded)
1 cup cooked white rice (unseasoned)
1 tbsp plain pumpkin puree (optional – aids digestion)
Water (as needed for boiling)
Instructions
- Boil the chicken: Place the chicken breast in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 15–20 minutes until fully cooked. Shred into small pieces.
- Cook the rice: In a separate pot, cook white rice using a 2:1 water-to-rice ratio. Let it cook until soft and fluffy.
- Combine: Mix chicken and rice in a 1:2 ratio (1 part chicken to 2 parts rice). Add 1 tbsp pumpkin puree if using.
- Cool before serving: Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before feeding.
- Serve small portions: Feed in 2–3 small meals per day based on your dog’s size and condition.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing Tip: Portion and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost fully before serving.
- Vet-Approved: Always check with your vet before starting a bland diet, especially for chronic symptoms.
