Give them more than that and you risk weight gain or diabetes. Large dogs can eat about ⅓ cup of rice two or three times per week.

How much rice should a dog have a day?

Dogs weighing <5 pounds: Feed a total of about ½ cup, split into smaller amounts throughout the day. Dogs weighing 5 – 15 pounds: Feed a total of about ½ - ¾ cup, split into smaller amounts throughout the day.

How much rice is too much for dogs?

If you're feeding rice as an extra, feed no more than about a quarter cup for a large dog and just a tablespoon or two for a smaller dog. As part of a bland diet for stomach upset, rice is typically mixed with a small amount of lean protein, like plain, shredded chicken breast.
