Dogs with even minor digestive issues should never be fed brown rice. Normally, chicken and white rice (1:1) is prescribed as a bland diet (easily digested), and brown rice is very hard for a dog to digest. Good for people, not so good for doggies.

And, I do agree, discussing diets with one's vet is a must, especially with a dog that has digestive problems.

That is good to know abuot the brown rice. I thought it would be healthier. I'll have to use white rice now. Thanks for the heads up.
