Tasty Tuesday: DogDaz Chicken & Rice
If you are a regular DogDaz blog reader then you know that Louise has a very sensitive stomach and Sofie has developed allergies to “who knows what and possibly everything.” Every once and a while, I give their tummies a break with my simple DogDaz chicken and rice dinner. This is not their regular diet since I do not add the required vitamins and minerals that a dog should have to maintain good health. I use this to get their systems back on track. Some people say to fast your animal for 24 hours before starting any change, but I don’t do that. If your fur-baby’s tummy is out of whack, you might want to try this for a couple of days.
Note: Please make sure to get your dog proper animal care with a Vet when they are feeling poorly. This post is by no means a cure for anything. I believe that food is medicine, and medicine is food and just wanted to share a simple tummy tamer.
Ingredients (for 12 cups):
4 pieces plain boiled CHICKEN (As lean as possible. I cut all the fat and skin off.)
1 cup white RICE
(Optional) 1/2 to 3/4 cup 100% pure PUMPKIN (NOT pumpkin pie mix, which is full of sugar and other stuff)
Directions:
Time to prepare: about 90 minutes all together
1. Prepare the Chicken
– Boil water (DO NOT ADD SALT. Dogs do not need salt and too much can cause sodium ion poisoning).
– When boiling, reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook about 30 minutes or until the meat basically falls off the bone.
– Remove chicken and let cool.
– Save the broth (you will need some later and it also makes great chicken soup stock). Skim the fat from the cooled chicken broth for the rice.
– When cooled, debone the chicken into small chunks and get rid of any still remaining skin or fat. (Think LEAN.)
2. Prepare the Rice
– Measure 2.5 cups (591.47 ml) of the broth (from previous step) into a pan and bring to a boil.
– Add 1 cup (236.58 ml) of white rice (easiest to digest for upset tummy) to broth and reboil. Then cover tightly and simmer for 20 minutes.
– The rice will be soggy and soft when done.
– Let rice cool.
3. Mix Chicken and Rice
– Add the rice to the chicken and blend them together with a fork.
4. Add Pumplin (with or without help from a cat)
5. Feed hungry dogs
– How much you feed them depends on the dog’s size, I give Louise (who is 58 lbs) 1 1/2 cups and Sofie (47 lbs) 2/3 cup, but don’t have any idea of the calorie or protein count.
– Mix with at least 1/4 cup of warm water to make it saucy.
Just another DogDaz morning at the Zoo ❤

DogDaz Zoo: Submerged
Baby elephant drinking. When they are this young they don’t yet know how to use their trunks to drink water, so it just submerged its face.
