Feeding Scrambled Eggs? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Ruby's Mama · 03-25-2006, 08:30 AM

A family member told me that she feeds her dog scrambled eggs once in a while for the protein. Ruby has been on something of a hunger strike lately -- eating very little. I suspect it's because she's teething and doesn't like the hard food. Have any of you supplemented with scrambled eggs or know of any potential negatives of doing so? I put about half an egg on her food this morning, and she went to town on it (puppy food and all). Thoughts?

I feed egg sometimes. Her poop may be a little soft later.

I feed my babies a little egg sometimes, It helps with their skin and coat as well!!!

my aunt feeds her yorkie eggs every once in a blue moon as a treet, and they love it. I have never given them to my lexi though, hope it works out. Watch her poopies though, don't want to give to much and have the runs.

Thanks for your responses. I can't believe how quick you guys are! I'll remember not to give them to her too often but am glad to hear that it's not uncommon. I couldn't believe how much actually puppy food she ate with the egg! Thanks again!

Kobe gets scrambled eggs, rice or oats, pumpkin, & cottage cheese or plain yogurt. These were all OK'd by the vet. When he gets finicky we just add some of these items and he goes to town.

Ollie is a very poor eater, so I frequently give her cottage cheese or scrambled eggs to supplement protein.

I have never given my Yorkies eggs but I do give my Poeranian them and she loves them as I crack the eggs shes at my feet dancing around its so cute I have always been told that in moderation it is ok.

snickers mom · 03-25-2006, 09:30 AM

i have done it when snickers isnt really eating well or if we are having them as a family approx 1x per week or every other week
but she gets a lil spoiled becuz when i make them for the kids its scrambled eggs w/a lil cheese and cubed ham
needless to say whether she has been eating or not that day that gets GONE very very quickly!!

Ditto- KimMee gets eggs of various forms quite often- if I make eggs for myself then she gets some. Haven't ever had any trobules.

My puppy's breeder gave her mum scrambled eggs to help her while she was feeding the puppies. I have read in various books that they are good for puppies and dogs needing a boost.
