if you have somethin to say like no or yes, explain why.
It wouldnt be an answer cuz its nothin, abuse may be reported!

Dear GITEMGANG
one of the answerers
dogs are like humans,
if we dont like this kind of food,
we dont eat it,
same thing as to dogs.
YOU are the one making a fuss out of it, so please delete your annoying answer, the rest of the people on this page actually have reasons, you have to say either yes or no, and why, thats what i asked for.

i bet you gitemgang dont even got a dog, so you shouldnt even be fussin about my question. if you just want two points, you got it, but if you want some more, you aint gettin it, i dont think you'll be on this page because this question is just a minor to get your two stinkin points aint it? so shut the heck up and stop givin answers to people just to get two points!

Answer 1

Rice is fine for dogs to eat - it's included in loads of dog foods (dried and tinned). The dog we have now eats a dried complete food, but our old dog lived mostly on household scraps which I topped up with dog food. She ate everything edible including banana, melon, cucumber, lettuce, curry, chilli - everything and anything that wasn't nailed down or already in somebody's mouth - she actually pinched stuff off my daughter that was on the fork and on its way to her mouth!

Answer 3

Here is the ingredient list for a very high end holistic dog food- it does not contain rice. It has pasta, rolled oats and barley.

"Halo Spot's Stew is an all natural healthy homemade food your dog will enjoy. Holistic veterinarians agree there's nothing better than a balanced, homemade diet, so let Halo's gourmet chefs do all the work and you can take all the credit for the healthiest pets in the world!

No chemicals, artificial preservatives, by-products or fillers. USDA approved chicken, carrots, zucchini, squash, green beans, celery, and all the other important nutrients guaranteed to keep your pets happy and in glorious good health! Spot's Stew is delicious and heals from within. Made in a USDA kitchen so it's got to be great!"


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ingredients: Water (sufficient for processing) Chicken, Carrots, Celery, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Chicken Liver, Green Beans, Green Peas, Pasta, Turkey, Rolled Oats, Barley, Soy Sauce, Dried Kelp, Garlic Powder, Calcium Lactate, Ascorbic Acid, Zinc Gluconate, Di-Calcium Phosphate
Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein 3.5% Min, Crude Fat 1.5% Min, Crude Fiber 1.5% Max, Moisture 88% Max

This is from a Q & A with a vet:

Q: All three of my dogs are overweight. They get lots of exercise, but the Vet put them on a "light prescription diet¨. They seem so hungry all the time now, and I feel a little guilty about the whole thing. What else can I do?

A: The main problem tends to be the amount of fillers used in pet foods on the market today. The typical fillers are corn, wheat and rice. Even brown rice is considered to be a filler and not part of what the animals would be eating in the wild. The excess amounts of carbohydrates (found in fillers) can cause extreme weight gain and these products should be avoided. Be sure to read your pet food labels. Most pets tend to slim down beautifully when eating Spot's Stew. It helps to regulate their metabolism and I'm certain they'll love the new food and will feel completely satisfied.

Sounds like rice is not the best choice.

Answer 4

We raised dogs for many years and rice was something we fed to the ones that seemed to have stomach troubles. They do have a dog food out that is a lamb and rice formula, made for dogs with problems, but there is certainly nothing wrong with giving your dog homemade food. Turkey is ok, but no bones! Chicken is actually better however. You really have to watch the bones though, while the marrow inside is very good for your dog, the smaller bones will penetrate the esophogos and hurt your dog.
We used to throw some gravy on the rice to make it a little easier to eat instead of just dry, makes it easier for the dog too. Just be carefull of the amounts you feed your dog. If he is a constant eater, you want to add more meat than rice in whatever you make.

Answer 5

Rice Good For Dogs

Answer 6

Some of that stuff (the eggshells in particular) doesn't sound particularly good for a dog. In any event, check with your vet before you change your dog's food.

I've fed my dogs a mixture of half rice, half hamburger when they've had upset tummies. I've also added pureed green vegetables like green beans, peas, and lima beans for extra nutrients. Once or twice a week, I added a tablespoon of Wesson oil for their coats and a chopped hard-boiled egg (no shells!) for more nutritional value.

The problems with the diet are: 1) it takes a LOT of this food to feed a big dog, 2) the dog may not be getting all the vitamins that he needs, 3) the food doesn't last long, even in the fridge, and 4) it's very hard to keep weight on him. If you feed homemade food, consider asking your vet for vitamin suppliments, and monitor his weight carefully.

PS. The rice/hamburger/veggie diet was taken straight from the vet's recommendations. They work closely with the local university Vet Med program. . .and the University of Illinois is a top rated vet school.

I would start one at a time on meat.boil extra lean hamberger in water to pull the oil out .than after its cooked rinse the oil out again and add rice .or chicken and rice .One or the other on the meat .Add as many vegetables as you want.Than see how she does.Turkey is to rich .the other meats you can do but I wouls add the other food a little at a time .Some dogs can get diaria from liver or other organs so this would be the safest way to try it.My dog is on a homemade diet .My dog has Inflamatory bowl and he is 14.I have been cooking for him since he was 8.If you have any questions just let me know .white rice is great for dogs not to much of anything may not be good.Also vet offices offer grat advice for meals alot of times for free.Dont believe all diets you get from the internet.Good luck

Make sure there no health issues. If there arent then take control of the situation. Put his food down, give him time to eat, take it away. He wont starve himself. If you want to feed him homemade by all means go for it, but not what youre feeding him. Mine usually eats homemade, but he understands that if kibble is what is put down in front of him, kibble is what he's getting for the night (kibble is always used as a treat anyway and it is frequently mixed into the meals, so he's used to digesting it.) His basic diet consists of ground beef with a tiny bit of garlic (helps fight parasites and a small amount is ok), veggies (making sure to give him carrots frequently, he also loves lima beans), and some assorted things like fish oil just for good health. Remember, dogs dont process carbs well. He's just getting meat and filler from the food.
