We use rice in our dog food because it's an excellent source of carbohydrate. Carbohydrate works as an energy source for your dog, providing him with the stamina he needs, whether he's a competitive athlete or a couch potato. Plus, rice is easy on your dog's digestive system.
Can I feed my dog 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.
Is it OK to mix white rice with dog food?
You can add brown or white rice to your dog's diet. While brown rice provides more protein and less fat; it is more expensive; it is chewier; and it takes almost twice as long to cook. White rice cooks almost instantly and is the best choice when treating a dog's upset stomach.
