Hello, & thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, this is very appropriate. You should try to keep the diet 25% boiled chicken to 75% boiled white rice feeding small meals several times a day. As long as there is no vomiting, you can do this for about a week before trying to transition back to the regular diet. I would also add a probiotic to help heal the gut microbiome. If the diarrhea is not improving with the bland diet & probiotics, then please consult with Jack's regular vet to see what else may be needed to clear up the diarrhea. Hope he is well soon. Take care.
