How do I reintroduce my dog after a bland diet?

When your pet can drink and hold down water, it's time to move on to more solid bland food. The goal is to rest the GI tract, so reintroduce bland food gradually. Several small meals per day are better than one or two large ones. Start by offering a very small amount, 1-2 tablespoons of food every 2-3 hours.

How do I transition my puppy from chicken to rice?
