Some quotations from the article: "dogs eating rice-based dry dog foods had higher hair arsenic levels than dogs whose diet did not contain rice."
"Based on what we know today, our results do not indicate that eating rice-based dry dog foods is toxic or dangerous for dogs. However, due to the negative health effects associated with chronic arsenic exposure in humans, we cannot ignore the possibility of similar effects in dogs. Until there is more research, it would be advisable to avoid feeding dogs rice-based diets for very long periods of time and instead feed a more varied diet "
