Small amounts of cooked rice and some pulses can be okay to give dogs (provided that Rango does not have any food allergies and it does not cause him stomach upset). Visit http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/ for more information on what is and is not safe for your pup. Also try and avoid excess salt , as too much can be dangerous to his health http://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/poison/salt/
