can i give my dog rice for diarrhea

Yes, you can definitely give your dog boiled white rice to help soothe their stomach and firm up their stool. It's a common recommendation from veterinarians for dogs with diarrhea. However, please make sure the rice is plain and not seasoned with anything that could potentially make the problem worse.

Either can work, but white rice is typically recommended over brown rice for dogs with diarrhea. White rice is more easily digestible for dogs, and it's important to prioritize easy digestion when dealing with diarrhea issues.

The quantity of rice to feed your dog depends on their size, but a general rule of thumb could be a quarter cup of boiled white rice at time for smaller dogs and up to a half a cup for larger ones. However, it's best to consult your vet with respect to the portion sizes based on your pet's breed and size.
