When feeding your dog some chicken and rice it's recommended that the amount of chicken and rice you feed your dog is 1/3 cup chicken mixed with 2/3 cup of rice.
Feed your dog the rice and chicken as several small meals per day rather than one or two large meals.
Dogs weighing 5 – 15 pounds: Feed a total of about ½ - ¾ cup, split into smaller amounts throughout the day.
Dogs weighing 16 – 30 pounds: Feed a total of about 1 - 1 ½ cups, split into smaller amounts throughout the day.
Just feeding 'chicken and rice' is simply not a complete and balanced diet as it is lacking in certain nutrients, vitamins, amino acids and minerals that are important for your pet's health.
Your dog can eat cooked rice every day, but remember there has to be a balance of the nutrients your companion needs, which are protein, fat from meat or oil, calcium, essential fatty acids, and carbohydrates.
Most dogs stay on the chicken and rice diet for 2 to 3 days.
Your vet will tell you how long to give the chicken and rice diet to your dog and when to reintroduce your dog's regular food.
