The easiest food for a dog to digest is shredded chicken.

Shredded chicken is not only the easiest food for a dog to digest but shredded chicken is also easy on a dogs upset stomach and acts as a huge eating incentive for dogs with decreased appetites.

Plain, unseasoned, boiled, shredded chicken is easy for dogs to digest and is packed with essential vitamins, minerals, fats, and amino acids, making it a great snack for dogs feeling under the weather.

Other foods that are gentle on a dogs stomach and easy for the dog to digest are a mixture of soft white rice or boiled, skinless, boneless chicken or lean ground beef at room temperature can help.

Be sure to ask your veterinarian for specific directions on preparing bland food for your dog's upset stomach.

If the dog is having trouble digesting food then the dog may have malabsorption.

Malabsorption in dogs is a type of digestive problem in dogs.

If your dog is experiencing small intestine malabsorption, it means he either isn't digesting his food, or he isn't absorbing the vitamins and minerals after digestion.

Treatments for dogs with digestive issues include.

    Anti-nausea medications.
    Antacids and stomach/intestinal protectants.
    Medicines to relieve diarrhea.
    Probiotics formulated for pets.
    Fluid therapy (for dehydration and electrolyte replacement).
    A bland diet (plain chicken and rice is common) or special diet for sensitive stomachs.
