Chicken and Rice for Dogs: Gentle on Sensitive Tummies

Chicken and rice is the old faithful of the dog world, the bland, gentle combo owners reach for when a tummy needs a bit of TLC. Here's the lowdown.

Why it's so gentle. Chicken and plain white rice are mild and easily digestible, so they sit well on a sensitive stomach without giving the digestive system much to grumble about. That blandness is the whole point.

Keep it plain. The magic is in the simplicity. Oils, butter, onions and seasonings can upset a delicate tummy, so proper chicken and rice for dogs means plain and simple, nothing fancy added.

A treat version. If your dog loves the flavour but you'd rather not be boiling chicken every week, a ready made chicken and rice chew gives them that gentle, familiar taste in a handy, low fuss form.

When to see your vet. A settled tummy should perk up fairly quickly, but if your dog has ongoing sickness, diarrhoea or seems poorly, always check in with your vet rather than treating it at home. Better safe than sorry.
