Is Plain cooked chicken safe for dogs?

Safe for dogs

Plain cooked chicken is one of the safest protein sources for dogs.

Unseasoned, fully cooked chicken (no bones) is an excellent protein source. It's highly digestible and often used for dogs with upset stomachs. Never give chicken bones — they splinter dangerously.
