Everyone gets an upset stomach from time to time and your dog is no exception. On those days when your furbaby has a belly ache, switching from his normal diet to a bland diet will help ease the discomfort.
Bland diet recipe for a 10lb dog, increase portions accordingly to your dogs size:
1/4 lb boiled chicken
1/8 cup plain white rice
1 tsp plain yogurt
Cooking fresh is optimal but if necessary, make enough for 2 meals keeping one in the refrigerator. Follow this diet for 3-5 days and resist the urge to give treats. Keep it simple so your dogs digestion is optimal and balance is regained.
If your dog does not feel better after a day or two or is not drinking water, is not defecating normally, or exhibits other signs of discomfort or lethargy, please take him to see the vet right away. Please always lean on the side of being cautious if you suspect something might be wrong.
