Answer 3

Yes- chicken and brown rice. But the only thing I would add is that you want to cook the rice longer than you normally would for your own consumption, it makes it easier for the dog to digest and white rice works the best because it cooks down better than brown rice. Also you can fast your dog for a day...all the water the dog wants but no food. My dog gets an upset stomach and the vet will suggest a day or two of no food. I usually can only withhold food for a day at the most because I can't stand when my dog looks at me like "Why aren't you feeding me? I love food!"
