Do dogs need rice in their food?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Because commercially produced dog food contains carbohydrates, be careful not to overload your dog with additional high-carb foods like rice. As long as he's maintaining a healthy weight, adding some rice to your dog's meals is perfectly fine. 5 февр. 2019 г.


Why is rice not good for dogs?

Dogs do no not digest rice too well. It takes a lot of work for the body to break down. Rice is a carbohydrate and we know dogs have little nutritional requirement for carbohydrates in their diet. White rice has a high glycemic index, meaning it will cause a rapid spike in blood glucose levels.

Is it okay for dogs to eat rice everyday?

Despite the health benefits that rice can provide, it should still be considered a treat—even when mixed with regular dog food—and as such should not exceed more than 10% of your dog's daily caloric intake unless instructed by your veterinarian. It's also not recommended to make rice a regular part of your pet's diet.
