Plain cooked chicken and pets
Plain cooked chicken is safe for dogs and safe for cats. No skin, no bones, no seasoning. The classic bland diet.
Not veterinary advice. If your pet has eaten something concerning — or shows vomiting, lethargy, tremors or seizures — call your veterinarian or a pet poison line immediately; waiting to see how it goes is the one thing that reliably makes it worse.
The reason
No skin, no bones, no seasoning. The classic bland diet.
