It is for this reason that I follow a veterinary nutritionist's advice who has looked at the entire diet. Some people care about the amount of fiber they can get from rice (or other grains) as if it is the only way in the world anyone can get fiber. Vegetables can provide plenty of fiber. I think brown rice is harder on a dog w/ a history of GI issues. |
Rosie has a history of tummy issues. It appears my Lily has a sensitive tummy as well. That's why I was wondering about white rice as Lily can't seem to handle sweet potatoes. We also use green beans which is fiber. We may need to get a special recipe from Dr R instead of using a generic one for Lily.
