| Read the label first. Some cereals have the preservative BHT in it and that causes seizures. I think that dogs don't digest milk very well. It might give them diahrea. |

| It's best to establish good eating habits while they are young, otherwise they will end up very picky eaters.

| It's ok to use as a treat or training aide but I wouldn't give too much or he'll not want his regular food and then he won't get enough protien and other necessary vitamins and minerals. Dogs tend to be intolerant to diary products, cats too. It can cause runny stools and belly aches. Basic rule of what is ok to give besides their regular dog food is anything that would naturaly be in their diet (think about what wolves eat in the wild and remember that they are also "eating" whatever their pray ate) - protien sources, vegetables, grains and some fruits (never grapes or raisin though, they are toxic to dogs). Also just watch because alot of dogs are allergic to corn. |

| Yes, they can have cornflakes in moderation, but the more people food they get, the more they can learn to be picky. Many dogs are lactose intolerant. It isn't going to cause a severe issue in most dogs if they have a little bit of milk. It isn't toxic or anything. Very likely will cause stomach upset and it just isn't worth the risk.
