Safe (Great for Upset Stomachs)

Rice is a safe carbohydrate source and is often recommended by veterinarians as part of a “bland diet” for dogs recovering from diarrhea or vomiting.

White vs. Brown Rice

White Rice: The husk is removed, making it very easy to digest. This is the best choice for a sick dog.
Brown Rice: Higher in protein and fiber, but harder to digest. Good for healthy dogs, but skip it if your dog has tummy trouble.

Boil the rice in plain water. Do not add butter, salt, or spices.

Verdict: A pantry staple that serves as excellent medicine for digestive issues.
