What bland food should I feed my puppy recovering from gastroenteritis?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 5 days old | 5.8 lbs

I took my 9 week old Corgi puppy to the Vet yesterday and they diagnosed her with Gastroenteritis from eating acorns from Oak tree. She was given IV fluids and anti-nausea shot. The next morning I tried feeding her small amount of kibble but it gave her diarrhea later in the morning although luckily she didnt throw up. What should I feed her as she's recovering for this stomach issue because she hasnt lost appetite at all and wants to eat?

You can put Cocoon bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if your dog gets lethargic, it needs to see a veterinarian for a recheck.
