You should boil the ground beef and skim off the fat. When our puppers had upset stomaches, I have always used 1 pound of boiled hamburg to 2 cups of instant rice but divided this quantity into 3 days worth.

1st day-straight beef/rice (1 cup morning/1 cup night)
2nd day-straight beef/rice (morning) but reduce to 1/2 cup + 1/2 cup normal food for dinner feeding
3rd day- 1/2 cup beef/rice + 1/2 cup normal food (both morning/dinner meals)
4th day- back on regular food.

This method has always worked in the past when my little guys have had upset tummies. The chicken buillion recipe also complimented the feeding change too.

Good luck LoveCharlie and please keep us posted!
