  4. Return shredded chicken to the pot, add olive oil, and stir to combine evenly.

This recipe meets AAFCO minimum requirements for adult dog maintenance when supplemented as directed. The 1.3:1 calcium-to-phosphorus ratio supports bone health. High-quality protein from chicken supports lean muscle maintenance, while brown rice provides sustained energy. Consult your veterinarian before making this your dog's sole diet, especially for dogs with kidney issues due to the protein content.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Refrigerate portions in airtight containers for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Always thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw chicken. Never feed hot food to your dog.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do not substitute chicken with ground beef or pork without recalculating fat content. Avoid using white rice exclusively as it lacks the fiber and nutrients of brown rice. Do not omit supplements—they are essential for calcium, vitamin, and mineral balance. Adding garlic, onions, grapes, or xylitol is toxic to dogs.

⚕️ Always consult your veterinarian before changing your pet's diet.
