Any Q

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 okay to feed my dog white rice everyday?

Can dogs eat white rice? Yes, dogs can eat white rice. Although lower in nutritional value than brown rice, white varieties of rice can be included in a dog's diet. Since it's fairly bland, vets often recommend white rice for dogs with an upset stomach.

How much rice should a dog have a day?

Simply boil or steam the rice until tender and do not add any butter, salt or seasonings (keep the fried rice for yourself). 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.

How often can dogs eat rice?

Most dog foods contain the correct daily amount of calories and nutrients that your dog needs for optimum health. That means rice can only comprise 10% of their daily caloric intake. 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.
