Easy to Digest
Boiled ground beef is a portion of light food, that is given to dogs with sensitive stomachs and white rice gives carbohydrates that are very easy to digest to your dog. The combination of both helps your dog recover from diarrhea and vomiting.
Supports Healthy Bowel Movements
Eating lean protein and fiber-rich rice together helps your dog to control his digestion and improves bowel movements. If you want to improve your digestion further, you need to add an extra small amount of boiled chicken or pumpkin.
A Good Temporary Diet for Sick Dogs
Most veterinarians recommend hamburgers and rice as much as possible. When your dog suffers from an upset stomach and does not fully recover, you should give him regular food after he recovers.
