To boil chicken for dogs, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Place the chicken in a pot and cover it with water by a couple of inches. Bring the water to a boil on high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook the chicken for about 12 to 20 minutes, depending on the size and cut, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is no longer pink inside. Avoid seasoning or adding anything to the water, as dogs need plain chicken to avoid stomach upset. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the water, let it cool completely, then shred or cut into small, bite-sized pieces suitable for your dog to safely eat. This plain boiled chicken can be served as a treat, mixed with regular dog food, or used to soothe a dog’s upset stomach. Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze them for longer storage.
