Although cereal can be a healthy breakfast for us humans, it doesn't have the balance of nutrients needed to keep dogs healthy. You should never feed your dog cereal as a meal replacement.
Is Weetabix for dogs? No it is not. It is a tasty and nutritious breakfast cereal for humans and is at the more healthy end of the spectrum for human breakfast products. This does not however make breakfast cereals good dog foods, to your dog they may be tasty but many other human foods can be toxic to dogs.
1. Allergic reaction: Dogs can have adverse reactions to dry or wet cereal if they have a gluten allergy or lactose intolerance (such as with milk). If you suspect your pet has either condition, avoid feeding your furry friend cereal and dairy products.
But just like humans are gluten and lactose intolerant, some dogs are too. This means some dogs won't be able to eat Weetbix either. This is why you should avoid adding any milk (or sugar) to your dog's Weetbix and potentially go with the gluten-free version of the latter if you can't resist sharing.
Some dogs are allergic to corn and should therefore avoid corn flakes. Otherwise, it's safe for dogs to eat corn flakes, but keep in mind that the cereal is high in carbohydrates and contains zero protein, so you're feeding your pet empty calories that don't provide much lasting energy.
Can dogs eat porridge oats? Yes, dogs can eat porridge oats as long as they're plain. Don't give your pup any of those instant or flavoured porridges because they simply aren't as healthy for your hound.
Eggs should be cooked before given to a dog. Cook or boil eggs plain without oil, butter, salt, seasoning, spices, or other additives. It doesn't matter how your dog likes their eggs — sunny side up, scrambled, or hard boiled — as long as they are cooked.
You can feed your dog Weetbix in small amounts occasionally, but it isn't designed to form the basis of a healthy and balanced diet for a dog. Having said that, a small piece won't do any harm as an occasional crunchy treat.
Yes, dogs can eat cheese. In fact, cheese is often a great training tool, especially for puppies.
Can most dogs eat yogurt? Yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they should. While yogurt is not toxic to dogs, many canines might have trouble digesting it because it contains lactose. And plenty of pups have trouble with foods that contain lactose, such as milk.
The short answer to the question “can dogs eat bread?” is yes. Dogs can safely eat bread in much the same way as humans—in moderation. Plain white and wheat bread are generally safe for dogs to eat, provided they don't have any allergies, and it usually does not cause any stomach upset.
But can dogs eat tuna? The answer is no. You shouldn't feed your canine companion the saltwater fish because it could lead to a number of different health problems.
Yes, dogs can eat bananas. In moderation, bananas are a great low-calorie treat for dogs. They're high in potassium, vitamins, biotin, fiber, and copper. They are low in cholesterol and sodium, but because of their high sugar content, bananas should be given as a treat, not part of your dog's main diet.
Safe: Cooked White Rice and Pasta. Dogs can eat plain white rice or pasta after it's cooked. And, a serving of plain white rice with some boiled chicken can sometimes make your dog feel better when they are having stomach problems.
Like with un-toasted bread, toast is fine for your dog to eat in moderation (provided they don't have any allergies). Again, it doesn't add any nutritional benefit and there should be no butter on the toast.
From a nutritional point of view Digestive biscuits aren't the best treats to give your dog, but in moderation they're unlikely to harm your dog. However, giving a small dog a Digestive biscuit can be up to 20% of their daily calorie intake.
White potatoes belong to the nightshade family of vegetables, which includes tomatoes; like tomatoes, raw potatoes contain solanine, a compound that is toxic to some dogs. However, cooking a potato reduces the levels of solanine. If you do feed your dog a potato, it should be baked or boiled, with nothing added to it.
Frozen, dehydrated, or instant mashed potatoes are fine to offer to your dog in small amounts. Most consist of just potato, with milk, salt, butter, or water added later during the cooking process. Since dogs don't like spices, offering plain, unseasoned potatoes is a great treat that they'll welcome.
Special K is made mostly from rice and whole grains, which are safe for dogs to eat but don't provide an adequate meal replacement. The cereal also contains some sugar, which dogs should avoid, but not so much that it's grossly unhealthy.
While some of the vegetables we love are unsafe to feed our dogs, carrots are a perfectly safe and nutritious treat for your dog.
