I feed mine The Honest Kitchen THRIVE which is organic chicken w/quinoa. They LOVE it & their stool is small & firm...it smells pretty good too, not their poopie but the food loll!

My dad is a candidate for diabetes 2, so he's very selective in his diet. He's so skinny, I worry that he's not getting enough nutrients, but he eats quinoa since it has a low glucose level.

Like Nancy mentioned, brown rice is very hard for dogs to digest, unless it's cooked just right.
