It’s not just the meat of the chicken that’s good for your dog to eat. “Bone broth, either homemade or store-bought, can help a dog with an upset stomach,” advises Dr Ryan. However, be extremely cautious about the actual bones. “If you are feeding your dog any type of meat, remove all bones before giving it to them. Ingesting the bones could cause a variety of problems for dogs like broken teeth, an injured mouth, [or] an intestinal blockage that requires surgery.”

Fish is one human food dogs can eat – as long as it isn’t raw. And certain types of fish are healthier for your dog than others. Salmon, ocean whitefish and herring, for example, are fish that live short lives, so they have lower levels of mercury compared to fish near the top of the food chain like, say, swordfish. Fish is also a great source of protein for your dog if he or she has allergic reactions to other types of meat.
