Is white rice good for dogs?

White rice is good for dogs as part of a balanced diet. It is particularly good for dogs who have sensitive stomachs or are suffering from diarrhea and gas.

Food-grade white rice is a safe source of carbohydrates, which dogs need for a healthy diet. It is easy for them to digest. White rice contains less fiber than brown rice, which makes it a better choice for dogs who are prone to diarrhea. It is often recommended as part of a bland diet for dogs who have had an upset stomach. Rice water, which is created by boiling white rice in water and straining out the grains, can help stabilize the bowels of fasting dogs.
