Rice — Generally safe
Plain, cooked rice (white or brown) is generally safe for dogs and can be a good source of carbohydrates and easily digestible. It is often recommended for dogs with upset stomachs due to its bland nature. Always serve it plain, without seasonings, butter, or sauces.
DOSE THRESHOLD
Excessive amounts may lead to digestive upset or weight gain over time.
