How Much Chicken And Rice Should I Feed My Dog?

  How Much Chicken And Rice Should I Feed My Dog? 

How much chicken and rice you should be feeding your dog depends mostly on their size and weight.  

Assuming you already have them on a diet set at the right calorie level for them, you will want to give them about the same number of calories in chicken and rice.

 A cup of chicken and rice contains between 350 and 400 calories.  

As a general rule, dogs need 25 to 30 calories per pound of weight per day, though this does differ depending on the dog.  

For example, older dogs are less active and have a slower metabolism, so they generally need fewer calories in their diets.

Can Dogs Eat Chicken And Rice Every Day?

It is not a good idea to keep your dog on a daily diet of chicken and rice for long. While this dish is extremely healthy for dogs, it does not contain all of the nutrients they need, which they get from other sources such as red meats and vegetables.

Also, dogs tend to develop allergies to the foods they eat the most. If you consistently feed them chicken and rice for an extended time, they will probably develop an allergy to chicken, which will force you to change their diet again, in a relatively drastic way.
