Is it okay to give my dog white rice every day with their food?

Yes boiled rice is absolutely fine but should be given in moderation and always mixed with other type of food. In excessive quantities could cause constipation. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Yes, it is ok to feed rice or pasta long term. Maybe the regular food that Trouble currently is on is not good for him anymore. Some dogs, that have been eating one brand of food all life, suddenly develop intolerance or allergy. It may be worth to try Trouble on a different brand of food for senior dogs.

Hi and thanks for your post. Yes you can give him plain white rice and boiled chicken. Plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) in his food can help as well. I hope this helps! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

It's fine to give chicken every day but if she only eats chicken and rice she will eventually develop health issues, you must feed her other things as well, preferably a good quality dry food for dogs.

No, this is not a complete and balanced diet for long-term feeding. It's fine to use for a few days here and there, especially if your dog has an upset stomach and needs something bland and tasty, but you should feed a commercial dog food or work with a veterinary nutritionist to put together a balanced home-cooked diet for the long term, if you prefer.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While you could do this longterm, it would have to be supplemented with a more balanced diet. For example, you could consider switching Izzy to a diet of chicken and white rice combined with a dry diet such as Hill's zd which would be good for inflammatory bowel disease. Good luck and have a great day!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Red's caloric intake should be about 600 to 700 calories per day. How much chicken and rice you would have to give depends on which cut of chicken you are giving him and what type of rice. For example, a cup of cooked white rice is about 215 calories and 8 ounces of chicken breast are about 300 calories. Good luck and have a good day! I hope that helps!
