When a dog is sick, I'd give white rice for sure. Dogs don't have the easiest time, even when healthy, digesting complex carbs - so more simple carbs will be easier on their entire digestive system when sick.

The method in which dogs digest carbs is also why you see "potatoes", for example, in lots of premium foods instead more complex-chain carbs.

Nothing wrong w/ brown rice, but if a dog can't digest it well - the potential benefit of it may not even be realized...and in fact might go undigested.
