A gentle, bland meal of poached salmon and white rice for dogs with a delicate stomach.
Homemade guidance, not veterinary advice
Debone the salmon thoroughly and cook it fully, since raw fish and bones aren't appropriate for dogs. This meal is plain, with no onion, garlic, or seasoning, but it's homemade guidance, not veterinary advice — if your dog's stomach upset is ongoing, check with your vet rather than relying on a bland diet alone.

Common questions
Is salmon and rice good for a dog with an upset stomach?
Plain, fully cooked, deboned salmon with soft white rice is a gentle, bland combination some owners use for dogs with a sensitive stomach, though it's not a substitute for veterinary care if symptoms persist.
Does the salmon need to be cooked?
Yes — the salmon should be fully cooked and carefully deboned. Raw fish and bones are not appropriate for dogs.
How long should I feed a bland diet?
Bland meals are usually a short-term measure; if your dog isn't improving within a day or two, it's best to check with your vet.
