Can dogs eat Rice?
Quick Answer:
Plain, cooked rice is safe and often recommended to help soothe a dog's upset stomach.
Why it matters:
White rice is easy to digest and helps bind stool when a dog has diarrhea. Brown rice is healthier for everyday feeding because it retains its fiber, but white rice is better for sick dogs. Never feed raw rice.
What to check on the label:
- •Added salt, butter, or seasonings
- •Onions or garlic in rice pilafs
Symptoms to watch for:
- •Constipation if fed in excessive amounts
When to contact a veterinarian:
Contact a vet if your dog ate flavored rice containing onions or garlic.
