Brewers rice
Brewer's rice is a by-product of the rice milling process. It consists of small, broken grains of white rice left over after the rice has been processed for human consumption.
Why we feed?
Brewer's rice is commonly used in dog food as a carbohydrate source to provide energy. While it is not as nutrient-dense as whole grains or brown rice, it is easily digestible and can be a suitable ingredient for dogs with sensitive stomachs or specific dietary needs.
How to feed?
Brewer's rice is considered a filler ingredient and is often used in prescription diets for dogs with GI upset. However, it has little nutrient value and adds unnecessary carbohydrates to kibble.
