HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN AND RICE DOG FOOD

Skinless and boneless chicken breasts are used in this homemade dog food recipe as the white meat is easier on your dog's 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 it's 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.

STORAGE AND FREEZING

Store the homemade chicken and rice dog food in the refrigerator in sealed containers. It will last up to 4 days.

This can also be frozen for when you need a bland dog food. Spoon a serving portion into ziplocked bags and remove the air (I suck the air out with a straw). The dog food will last for up to 3 months in the freezer.

Defrost the dog food in the refrigerator and ensure that the chicken and rice are thoroughly defrosted before giving to your dogs. You could gently warm the food before serving too.

RECIPE TIPS

For a very bland dish specifically for an upset stomach, omit the vegetables and serve just the chicken and white rice.

You could use brown rice in place of the white if you are not feeding this for any upset stomach reasons.
