Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, white rice is typically well-tolerated. You can always check the caloric content on the rice you are feeding him in combination with the caloric content of his diet to make sure that he does not get over fed and gains weight as a result. Good luck!
