Bland Diet
Day #1: NPO (no food or water) for 24 hrs.
Day #2: Mix 3 parts cooked white rice with 1 part low fat
cottage cheese. Give in very small portions at least 5-6 (even
10-12) times during the day.
You may begin allowing your pet small amounts of water on
this day. Allow your pet only 3-4 laps of water once per hour
then remove the water bowl from your pet's reach.
Prescription Science Diet I/D can be used instead of the rice
& cottage cheese.
Day #3: Continue the I/D or the rice & cottage cheese diet in
larger portions if possible. Allow your pet only 5-6 laps of
water once per hour then remove the water bowl from your
pet's reach.
Day #4: Slowly begin adding normal dog food in small
portions (mixed with the bland diet in decreasing proportions)
during this 24 hr period.
Day #5: By the end of day #5, the diet should be consisting
of almost 100% regular dog food. You may leave your water
bowl down if your pet has no signs of illness.
If your pet vomits at any time during this 4-5 day period, take
all food & water away for at least 24 hrs.
