This chicken and oatmeal dog food is designed for simplicity. No seasoning, no additives, no unnecessary extras — just soft textures and gentle ingredients that many dogs tolerate well.
It’s not meant to replace a complete commercial diet long-term unless advised by a vet. Think of it as a short-term homemade option or a gentle meal during sensitive periods.
The most important part happens at STEP 2. That’s where texture and digestibility are controlled.

Utensils
- 1 medium saucepan with lid
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 measuring cup
- 1 dog bowl
Ingredients (1 small dog serving)
- 60 g cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
- 25 g rolled oats
- 400 ml water
Preparation
STEP 1
Bring the water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan.
STEP 2
Add the oats and cook over low heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
👉 This step is crucial: slow cooking keeps the oats soft and prevents thick paste.
STEP 3
Stir in the shredded chicken and cook gently for 2–3 minutes, just to warm through.
STEP 4
Let cool completely before serving to your dog.
(Variation with vegetable)
Why this works:
Oats cooked in plenty of water become soft and easy to digest. Chicken provides lean protein without fat or seasoning.
⚠️ Important: Always use plain cooked chicken, no salt, no spices, no onion or garlic.
FEATURED TOOL
I recommend a medium saucepan with a lid to cook oats slowly and keep enough moisture. Gentle heat helps create a soft texture that’s easy for dogs to eat.

If the mixture thickens after cooling, add a little warm water to loosen it. Dogs usually prefer a soft, moist texture.
