What can I safely give my small dog for an upset stomach at home?

Question

What is safe to give a ten pound fur baby for intentional upset? Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | spayed | 13 years and 11 months old

Shaneez Wallani, DVM · Accepted Answer

Stomach upset could be caused by toxin ingestion, parasites, change in diet, infectious diseases, blockage in the gastrointestinal tract caused by ingestion of a foreign body, or a mass/growth in the gastrointestinal tract. Please make an appointment to have Fuzz seen by a veterinarian to help determine the cause of her symptoms. In the mean time, you can try boiling boneless skinless chicken in water, shredding the chicken, and feeding Fuzz small amounts of the resulting chicken broth and cooked chicken with some boiled white rice once it has cooled. You can also try offering her cooked extra lean ground beef and boiled potatoes. These bland foods can help settle Fuzz's stomach. I don't recommend giving any over the counter medication to Fuzz, as some human medications can be harmful for pets.
