* Cooked, NOT raw: Raw chicken can contain bacteria harmful to dogs. Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly.
* No bones: Chicken bones can splinter and cause serious internal injuries to your dog.
* Plain, no seasonings: Avoid adding salt, pepper, garlic, onion, or other seasonings to the chicken. These can be harmful to dogs.
* Moderation is key: Chicken should be a treat or part of a balanced diet, not the main source of food.
* Check with your vet: Always consult with your veterinarian about your dog's dietary needs.
Here are some ways to feed cooked chicken to your dog:
* As a treat: Give small pieces of cooked chicken as a reward.
* Mixed into kibble: Add cooked chicken to your dog's kibble for added flavor and protein.
* As part of a homemade diet: Talk to your vet about creating a homemade diet that includes cooked chicken.
Important Note: If your dog is eating chicken and experiencing any symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, contact your veterinarian immediately.
