Question
Will feeding dogs rice make them poop?

Answer
Hi Stephen,  Actually feeding rice helps to calm the intestinal tract when they have diarrhea and/or vomitting.  Sort of gets things to calm down.  Not really a fiber that actually gets them to go if they are constipated.  You need to look into what is causing the constipation before giving something to try and correct it as you may be exasperating things by giving something that may just make matters worse.   Hope this helps,

Dawn
