Not sure about ready brek not something i have ever considered giving my dog, what about weetabix or scrambled egg or even a slice of toast.

I would not feed anything like that, to many additives designed for the human system which means some animals might (or might not) be harmed short or long termby them - I few real oat addions should be ok but a lot of it is the proportions of ingeredients on a regular basis which is impotrtant. A good all round additive is seaweed powder.

Never found a dog who did like porridge ( I make it for my buns ) If you are going to make a nice breakie for them, then why not a hard boiled egg, in its shell

Breeders often send new owners home with diet sheets which include directions for feeding two milky meals and two meat meals per day.

They often recommend breakfast cereal such as weetabix.

Fortunately people are learning more about canine nutrition and realise that a) the dog has no need for carbohydrates b) it was not designed to metabolise processed grain/cereal c) no animals bar humans consume milk post weaning.

At 7 weeks a puppy has a full set of gnashers which are designed to cope with ripping and tearing raw meat off bone and crushing small bones; it is not a toothless invalid so there is no point in feeding mush.

Milk contains the sugar lactose; in order for it to be digested properly an enzyme lactase has to be present.  Most dogs do not have this enzyme or very little of it.  Milk is the prime trigger of diarrhoea in dogs!  It contains nothing that cannot be found in other more appropriate foods.

Dogs are not designed to eat toast either (although many like it but then they also like licking their bottoms)! 

Eggs are best consumed raw rather than cooked with milk and my dogs consume the shell too.

Of course if you WANT to feed your dog these things that is your prerogative, they just do not NEED it.

Yup, Mine like toast..I do use it as a training treat..but very rarely. I know, the milk thing is weird!

i ready this with intrest and thought id let you know the breeder of my border collie fed her on 'pedigree professional puppy food 'and i got a weeks supply of her she is now on bakers puppy

You must feed what you think is best, however I would advise you to read the contents of both (particularly Bakers) and consider whether or not you would feed a diet to any living creature that had so many colourants, added sugar and salt etc for optimum health?

Not all breeders are experienced and not all are up to date with nutritional best practice.

It might be an idea to research what brands contain the least amount of additives and most closely resemble what a dog would eat in the wild.

Just a thought.
