Yes, dogs can eat jasmine rice in moderation, provided it’s plain (no added salt, butter, spices, or onions) and cooked thoroughly. It’s often used as a bland, easily digestible option for dogs with minor stomach upset or during GI issues, and it can be a small, temporary supplement to their regular diet. Key points to consider

• Moderation is essential: Jasmine rice is a carbohydrate source, not a protein or a complete diet by itself. Keep human-food portions small and ensure the majority of calories come from a balanced dog food formulated for their life stage and health.
• Preparation matters: Serve plain, well-cooked jasmine rice. Avoid oils, butter, salt, curry powders, garlic, onions, or other seasonings that can irritate a dog’s gut or be harmful.
• Brown vs white: Jasmine rice comes in white and brown varieties. White jasmine rice cooks quicker and is more digestible for most dogs, which is often preferred for GI support. Brown jasmine rice contains more fiber and may be harder to digest for some dogs.
• Medical considerations: Some dogs with diabetes, obesity, or inflammatory GI conditions may require stricter carbohydrate control. In such cases, consult a veterinarian before introducing rice or any new foods.
• Feeding guidelines: A common approach is to mix a small portion of plain jasmine rice with the dog’s regular food or give it as an occasional bland meal if advised by a vet. If using rice as part of a home-cooked recipe, ensure the overall nutrient balance meets the dog’s needs.

Safety tips

• Always introduce new foods gradually and monitor for signs of digestive upset (vomiting, diarrhea, gas, or changes in appetite).
• Ensure there are no bones, additives, or seasonings that could pose a choking hazard or digestive risk.
• If there is a history of pancreatitis, food allergies, or other health concerns, rely on veterinarian guidance before offering jasmine rice.
