YT 1000 Club Member | Hi, I use both brown and white rice (and yes, sometimes I cheat and go for Minute Rice)! I've also experimented with adding broccoli and carrots to the chicken or steak or turkey cutlets and Romeo loves the veggies that way too.

| I am limiting rice now since Arsenic has been found in rice- appropriate levels are unregulated at present. Brown rice has the highest levels. Arsenic in Rice: New Report Finds 'Worrisome Levels'

| I don't like white rice unless it is jasmine rice. Enriched rice only has the vitamins taken out during bleaching put back in along with chemicals and pesticides. We eat unbleached white rice sometimes most of our rice is grown right here in CA. We eat organic brown rice I forget the brand because its bulk but it wasn't part of the arsenic scare which is just awful! Most dog foods with rice have brown rice in them. We really only give the dogs white rice when they have a tummy ache.

| Brown rice is better. White rice really isn't good for you. It turn all into sugar in your system. Black rice is good for you and has a good taste |
