There is nothing worse than when your beloved pet isn't feeling well.

  • Cottage cheese

  • Bouillon cube broth
  • Plain Jello
  • Scrambled egg
  • Pasta with no sauce

  • All Sport

  • Jello water
  • Hills i/d canned and dry food for dogs and cats
  • Eukanuba Low Residue canned and dry food for dogs and cats

Usual Instructions:

  • Give nothing by mouth (food or water) for 12 hours. Then, only give small amounts of water or ice cubes. If your pet does not vomit, you may offer a small amount of food.
  • Feed small amounts frequently (e.g. ½ cup for 100-pound dog.)
  • Feed half of normal volume per day.
  • Keep them hungry.

Remember, you should always consult with your veterinarian before putting your pet on any kind of diet.
