HOW TO COOK

Bones are a source of minerals and nutrients for dogs.

However, cooked bones can splinter and pose a serious risk to dogs.

Consider important factors before feeding bones to your dog (related read).

Remove bones and skin when cooking chicken for your dog.

Skin is high in fat, so it’s best to remove it.

DO NOT SEASON THE CHICKEN

Place the boneless and skinless chicken in a clean pot.

Ensure that the chicken pieces are spread out evenly.

Add enough water to cover the chicken but avoid filling the pot to the brim.

Do not season the chicken as dogs prefer the plain flavor.

Avoid using condiments and spices that are toxic to dogs, such as onion, garlic, leek, and chives.

Use a food thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly.

LET IT COOL

Shred the cooked chicken into smaller pieces to make it easier for your dog to chew and swallow.

Shredding helps the stomach metabolize the food faster and reduces the risk of digestive issues.

Allow the shredded chicken to cool down for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Avoid serving the chicken while it’s still too hot to prevent burns.

Remember to make a healthy meal plan, nutritious in all sections.
