I would imagine that rice, whether it white or brown, would work the same way pasta does in a dog's digestive system. Or is it only wheat that tosses out the other nutrients? |
Just a little FYI: I do consults with a veterinary nutritionist. I have three pups on home cooked diets. One of them has PLN and is on a tilapia and pasta diet and doing very well.
She has a website but it is new and does not have a lot of information on it; but if you really want good information from a VET nutritionist, I highly recommend the website of Dr. Rebecca Remillard. To see her credentials:

The main site is
PetDiets - VNC putting pets' health first! and if you go to the FAQs page you can ask her questions.
