Couldn't put it better myself
🤷♂️How many of you have had their Veterinarian recommend to feed your dog rice to not only fix the problem of his/her diarrhoea, but as a good form of nutrition via highly processed feeds known as dry kibble?
👇Well here’s another reason to NOT trust any Veterinarian when it comes to your dog’s nutrition…
When your dog is unwell or suffering from a stomach upset whether it's in the form of vomiting, diarrhoea or IBS, it is essential to look at the diet as the first cause of the issue. Diet can also be first point to help cure the problem. The most common causes of vomiting and diarrhoea are from either something your dog has eaten, a virus or a food intolerance.
It's important that your dog gets onto a bland diet to help them recover from their gastrointestinal illness. The most common recommendation for a bland diet for a dog is boiled rice and chicken. Rice is suggested as it's classed as a carbohydrate and therefore a starchy food that is supposed to help bind the stools together, reduces diarrhoea and not irritate the stomach, 𝐁𝐔𝐓..
🍚White rice is probably one of the worst foods to feed your dog!
🤷♂️Why? White rice has very little nutritional or hydrating benefit for your dog. It's processed into sugar by the body. It's a refined carbohydrate which means it has been stripped of it's nutrition. It's been calculated that 97% of all white rice is genetically modified food.
🦠White rice is another cancer causing agent in dogs.
🍚Dogs do no not digest rice very well. White rice in particular has a high glycemic index, meaning it will cause a rapid spike in blood glucose levels. White rice is too starchy to be part of any dogs diet, especially when suffering from GI tract inflammation.
🤷♂️Somif you’re still feeding your dog products from a bag or a can and from your supermarket, your Vet clinic or your produce store, simply put, you’re continuing to contribute to your dogs poor nutritional health on a daily basis and that will always be on you👊👊👊.
👌Your dog requires a clean, high quality all raw diet diet that helps naturally replace lost fluids, electrolytes, nutrients, to help them quickly recover.
