markmccann 2 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 I have just google'd toxic food for dogs and i dont think i will ever feed my dogs again ????????. By rights all our dogs should be dead. according to the countrymans weekly October 5th you shouldnt feed dogs raw eggs because of its reaction with vitamins..it doesnt really go into it that much,so make up your own mind about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 There is a small study in humans that suggest better digestion when cooked, “The higher digestibility of cooked egg protein presumably results from structural changes in the protein molecule induced by heating, thereby enabling the digestive enzymes to gain broader access to the peptide bonds.” ( http://jn.nutrition.org/content/128/10/1716.full ) Dogs have a reasonable comparable system, but there should be more than enough protein in the diet to make the difference negligible. The same would hold true for vitamins unless a very excessive egg intake was fed. The shell is made up of grit that the hens eat so feeding the shell is just feeding grit., doesn’t add much to the diet, small increased risk of infection perhaps but basically doesn’t do much good probably doesn’t do much harm either.

Mooch. 177 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 If you're feeding BARF then you are trying to replicate the kind of diet a wild dog might eat and I'm sure if a wild dog happened upon some ground nesting birds eggs it would eat them. I feed my dog one raw egg a week including the shell and he loves it (except the shell which I have to crush into the mince so he doesn't notice it!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sirius 1,391 Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 There is no problem at all with Eggs and the shell fed raw as long as you feed in moderation same as most things. I havealso found a hard boiled egg very useful for dogs with diarrhoea and scrambled egg useful for young pups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From feeding dogs eggs the passed 20 odd years, i have never seen any ill effect to dogs from them. Lightly scrambled is the best way i reckon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
