Why do we include rice in our recipes?

Why we add rice in some of our dog recipes, and what benefits it provides.

Our team of veterinarians specialising in canine and feline nutrition recommends including a small amount of healthy carbohydrates in our dog recipes, to make sure your dog gets enough energy.

Rice is one of the best options and provides many benefits. It is low in fat and sodium, contains antioxidants and supports healthy digestive transit. It also provides B vitamins such as B1 and B6, which contribute to metabolism and heart health. In small quantities, rice is very well digested.

Looking for a grain-free option?

Our fish recipe for dogs uses potato instead of rice as its source of healthy carbohydrates, which makes it grain-free. All of our other dog recipes contain rice.

What about cats?

None of our cat recipes contain rice or any added carbohydrate source. Cats need only a very small amount of carbohydrates, and that need is already covered by the other ingredients in the recipe.
