sandymere 8,263 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Never fed readybrek but suppose it's oats, leave out the milk and use water. Giving a mixture as you are is a sensible method which delivers a broad spectrum of nutrients. I use a mix of complete and cooked veg/table scraps with meat/bones a couple of times a week and the dogs do well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sandymere 8,263 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) Sorry should have read your post a little more carefully, onions can cause anaemia as can garlic as both contain a chemical called thiosulate, you would need a fair amount to cause an acute raction but if feeding every night then it could conceivably cause a sub acute anaemia.
