| She Loves Rice Sadie loves plain, cooked white rice. I have been giving it to her once a day, along with kibble. Does anyone know if it is OK to give it to her once a day, or is that too much? Thanks in advance.

| My breeder fed her puppies and moms rice, chicken and vegetables. So I would think it was healthy, along with the kibble. |

Right now I am struggling with a sick Yorkie. I saw my vet this AM, but stupidly forgot to even ask him this. Many thanks.

| I doubt a little rice each day will cause any harm. It's just important that she is eating enough kibble each day to get her daily nourishment/vitamin/mineral requirements.

| For sure - rice won't hurt her. It is a very gentle safe food and can be found in a lot of dog foods. The only thing I would watch - is if your little girl ever gets a little overweight --which probably won't happen. But if it did, you might want to cut back on the rice a little. You're lucky your pup loves it - it's good for her....and easy to fix. Carol Jean |
