Nahla + Teddy's Mum Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Hi Everyone, Just wondering how often I can feed my 2 dogs, 9 and 10.5 months old raw eggs? I gave them I each on top of their kibble last night and about a week ago and they absolutely loved it! They ate everything in their bowl which they hardly ever do and I havent noticed a change in health so far so they seem to agree with them. Is 2-3 times a week too much? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 What sort of dogs are they.. My BC gets at least one a week & sometimes two. Use the whole egg including the crumbled up shell for a balance meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PupPup Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Shells as well? Interesting. I give mine 1 or 2 a week and he loves them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll start giving them 2 a week and they will love me even more!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PupPup Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I have a friend who has a nifty trick of giving the whole egg to his dog and the dog will gently carry it out to his food bowl ready for dinner without cracking it open..... It'd be gone in seconds if I tried that with Harvey.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my Mum came home the other week to find a full raw egg in her living room with a tooth size chip out the top and her dog sucked the egg out and didnt eat the shell! Thats why I was curious when Sheena said to give them the shell too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheena Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I always crumble the shell up because we have chooks & I don't want her thinking it is OK to eat the eggs. The raw shell is a valuable source of calcium...it's not much different to your dog eating a meaty bone....texture wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dju Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 We play fetch with the egg first (because it's such a handy size) and when it breaks, Hugo eats it all up, including crunching up the shell himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then she rolls it around and checks for a crack...if no eggy goodness, she will pick it up and drop it again. Rinse, repeat until the shell breaks. Took 6 drops last Saturday! She has one every weekend, and occasionally an extra during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
