Ham on Rice - Allergy Free CookBook

A mixture of ham and grains is delicious for those who can still have them. Ham and rice can be a quick perk up meal either using fresh ingredients or leftovers. Ham and rice is another one of those meals that can be prepared for sick dogs and cats, with your veterinarian's permission, of course. To add flavor and texture, add a little beef or pork stock. It's a good way to get animals who have lost interest in eating to eat. Adding a few peas and carrots can also add nutrition. Some animals will eat medication in food mixes.
