Detox Program for Dogs: Garden Rice

Rice, as we all know is a stable diet for many asia countries. And being born with Chinese and Portuguese hertiage, I’ve a tendency to favor rice over dog bread. It’s not that bread isn’t good for dogs but rice is so much easier to cook, and not forgetting faster too. Also being a city dweller, my dogs don’t have the luxury to roam aimlessly around my 7 x 6 feet potted garden, so naturally I’ve to be watchful of what goes into their tiny bodies.
