Variations & Tips:
If your dog isn’t a fan of chicken, you can substitute ground turkey or lean ground beef. Feel free to add other dog-safe vegetables, such as sweet potatoes or green beans, for added nutrition. For those with grain-sensitive dogs, you can replace the brown rice with quinoa or skip it entirely and slightly decrease the broth to maintain the right consistency.
