Hi everyone,
I was wondering, is it okay to feed dogs a raw egg once in a while??
Some people say it's good for them, but others say it's not.
Interested to see what you think :)
-
They will be fine raw - why would they not be ? :)
-
If i find a cracked egg or a tiny egg, my Millie dog gets them and thoroughly enjoys them, shell and all! she has never been poorly, so would not worry!

mine won't touch them, mind you my hens will quickly devour a soft shelled egg in seconds so it's a good job the dogs don't like them :lol:
-
They say it gives them a shiny coat.
-
my dogs wont eat raw eggs at all, i have to cook them for them lol
-
Thank you everyone :D
I sometimes feed cracked eggs to my dogs, but just wanted to check that it's not unhealthy for them :)
They love them raw and cooked, cheeky little things! :lol:

our dog had a bit of excema, the vet said a raw egg on his food daily, would sort it out......
.....and it did

Spose the only risk would be salmonella, and not sure if dogs get that.
As a kid, and a very fussy eater :lol: My dear old Dad (sadly missed :() used to trick me into having eggs by whisking them into milk with sugar, and calling it 'Yellow Milk'. I loved it, and have lived to tell the tale. . . Shiny hair and a cold nose too :lol:

We used to have that when we were ill too.
Our dogs get the odd raw egg, usually if I've used one to glaze a pie, or a cracked one. OK in moderation I think....especially for labs!

Thanks :)

Out of interest, what about it is especially good for labs?
I've two yorkshire terriers, but my friend has a lab :D

Sorry, what I meant was ANYTHING you give labs needs to be moderate, except fresh air and water! :D They put weight on watching Masterchef! :lol:

I breed Boxers and they often get raw eggs L(as a treat) together with the oil from a drained can of tuna or leftover olive oil from cooking. Has never done mine any harm.

Quick comment:
"Raw egg whites bind to the biotin that a dog ingests and prevents it from being absorbed. Cooked eggs do not do this. "
We feed our dogs on a totally raw diet - meaty bones, chicken wings and carcases and so on - including raw whole fish, occasional eggs - raw or cooked.
