- Saucepan
- Mixing bowl
Silicone spatula
Storage containers
- Cooked chicken breast finely chopped
- Pumpkin puree
- Cooked white rice
- Warm water
- Olive oil optional
Cook the chicken breast until fully done, then finely chop it while keeping moisture in the meat for easier mixing.
Stir warm pumpkin puree into the chopped chicken until the mixture softens and blends smoothly.
Fold in cooked white rice and gently mash to help the ingredients combine without becoming dense.
Add warm water gradually until the texture becomes soft and easy to digest.
Stir in a small amount of olive oil if your dog prefers a smoother texture.
Cool fully before serving or refrigerating.
For this gentle pumpkin bowl, I like to cook the chicken and squash low and slow in the
Crock-Pot 8QT programmable slow cooker
so everything stays moist and easy to mash. Once it is tender, a quick blend with the
Cuisinart Smart Stick hand blender
lets you dial in the exact softness your dog’s stomach prefers, and the
OXO pull-out digital scale
helps you keep pumpkin portions consistent from batch to batch.
If your dog’s stools swing between too soft and too firm, you can gently back this recipe up with a small amount of
pumpkin-based fiber powder
on the wobbly days instead of rebuilding the whole recipe. In the
Chicken Dog Food Guide
I explain how I pair this kind of bowl with simple gut routines, so digestion feels calmer without constantly changing foods.
