Chicken & Rice (Dog-Friendly)
Plain boiled chicken and rice — the classic gentle meal for dogs.
Origin & Story
Boiled chicken and white rice is the meal vets most often recommend for dogs with an upset stomach: bland, easy to digest and cooked with absolutely no seasoning.

Vegan
Cats are obligate carnivores; a vegan meal is not recommended. Always consult your vet before changing a pet's diet.
