Pork and rice is easy to make, and if the pork used is soft, it will break up easily. Pork and rice is actually a recommended meal for cats and dogs who have an upset stomach or have lost interest in eating. The enticing aroma can tempt them to take a bite or two when they otherwise might not. For pets, skip spices, onions, and mushrooms. They can be deadly. A dash of salt and a few peas or green beans is fine for your pet, based on your veterinarian's recommendation for a pet's home cooked meal.
