Can Dogs Eat Chicken?

Yes, dogs can eat chicken. Cooked, unseasoned chicken is an excellent protein source.

Chicken is not considered toxic to dogs, though moderation is always important. Chicken is a lean protein commonly found in dog food. Always serve cooked and plain — never raw due to Salmonella risk. Never feed cooked chicken bones, which can splinter and cause internal injury. Remove skin to reduce fat content.

Chicken is generally well-tolerated by dogs when given in appropriate amounts. If your dog shows any unusual symptoms after eating it, contact your veterinarian.

Shredded or diced boneless, skinless, unseasoned chicken. Can be mixed with regular food.
