If your pup has stomach issues, they may require being placed on a bland diet to restore normal digestive processes.
These include white rice, boiled chicken (including any excess meat from bone broth making), and yogurt; all foods which are easy on a dog’s digestive system.

Chicken and Rice
Food that’s easy for dogs with stomach ailments such as diarrhea is ideal. Chicken and rice provide your pup with protein and carbohydrates in one simple package.
Lean boiled chicken (or whatever meat was leftover after you made bone broth) and rice are an ideal combination for providing your pup with protein, fiber and carbs without upsetting his sensitive tummy. To enhance its nutritional value further, try incorporating frozen veggies like yams and carrots or using stage II dog food that doesn’t contain added sugars and preservatives into this meal plan.
If your dog has more severe stomach issues such as diarrhea or vomiting, please seek professional medical advice immediately. These foods shouldn’t be seen as a replacement treatment and should only be fed sparingly to avoid overdoing it on any essential nutrients that he/she isn’t receiving from their daily diet.
Bone Broth
Bone broth is an abundant source of nutritious proteins and other essential nutrients, helping to soothe upset tummies in both humans and dogs alike. Plus, you can customize its nourishment further by adding healthy dog-approved veggies like pumpkin, carrots, green beans or zucchini for an enjoyable treat!
Add apple cider vinegar for an added boost; this is thought to improve digestion and alleviate allergy symptoms.
To create bone broth, all it takes are some pounds of raw bones with marrow (you can ask your butcher or grocery store to cut them for you), roasting the bones first helps release more liquid, then strain and add any desired ingredients before storing in airtight containers or freezing in ice cube trays for later.
Shredded Chicken
When your pup has an upset stomach, he needs simple foods that are easily digested – this would be an excellent opportunity to prepare some shredded chicken!
Place chicken breasts or thighs in a large pot with enough water to cover, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10-16 minutes, until an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees is achieved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before shredding as soon as you’re cool enough to do so.
Cooked chicken and white rice is an easy, healthy meal for dogs suffering from upset stomachs. When making this recipe, be sure to use low-salt broth and leave out any extra salt while cooking it. Feed this diet to your pup for three days at most before gradually transitioning back into their regular diet with one day of plain food followed by two of regular food.
Canned Fish
If your dog is experiencing digestive issues like diarrhea or vomiting, consider feeding him a homemade diet. There are many recipes online to select foods that will be easier for him or her to digest.
Some good choices of fish for your pup to eat include salmon, flounder and herring. Fish provides essential protein and omega 3 fatty acid supplements essential to their coat and skin health.
Cooked eggs provide your dog with high levels of protein while being an excellent source of fat, so take caution not to overfeed them. Finally, cooked pumpkin contains essential vitamins and has a low glycemic index for slow absorption; plus it’s free from oil or seasoning!
Cooked Eggs
If your pup is vomiting occasionally and his gastrointestinal symptoms are generally mild, their stomach could need some time to rest and recharge. Try feeding him some cooked eggs as protein and energy boosters – cooking over easy (or medium if they’re picky!) until the yolk no longer runs and the white portion firm to touch is ideal.
Add boiled white rice with some steamed or pureed vegetables like carrots, sweet potato, pumpkin, leafy greens, zucchini or squash for additional nutrition. You can quickly make this meal on the stovetop – ideal for sick pups! Just be careful to steer clear from foods which increase blood sugar or cause diabetes issues since these may be difficult for diabetic pups to process.
