Eggs my sister said that dogs can eat eggs and that they are good for their coat... anybody know if this is true??? and if so how should they be prepared? |
I have read that a lot of people give scrambled eggs. I usually give Simon and Hallie some egg whites once a week but I don't know what the nutritional value is. |
I remember hearing that years ago about mixing a egg yolk in with their food. I wouldn't feed mine raw eggs though.:rolleyes: |
My babies get scrambled eggs once a week ... every Sunday morning. |
I give mine scrambled and boiled eggs |

I give Millie scrambled eggs (she does not like hard boiled) about 1 to 2 times a week. I give 1/2 the egg on Sunday for her breakfast :) and she gets leftovers on monday morning. :D |
I have heard this and it does work, in my opinion. |

thumbs up to scrambled and boiled egg, probably once a week. |
Here is a link to a site that will help you when you have questions: http://mooreshaven.com/pets/dogs/saf...foodslist.html Raw egg whites contain a protein called avidin, which can deplete your dog of biotin, one of the B vitamins. Biotin is essential to your dog?s growth and coat health. Additionally, raw eggs are often contaminated with bacteria, such as salmonella, and you could end up giving your dog food poisoning in addition to biotin deficiency. Symptoms of biotin depletion are hair loss, weakness, growth retardation and skeleton deformity. If your dog is suffering from these symptoms the situation is urgent, and veterinary treatment is needed. Cooked eggs are high in protein and make an excellent treat. It is only the raw eggs that should not be given to your dog. |

wow is that true...hmm.. |
Scrambled or boiled. If you scramble, use either a tiny bit of olive oil or real butter. Never give raw eggs. They can actually get salmonella poisoning. |
i boil about eight or nine eggs, then put them in the processor and give all mine about a tablespoon every day. it is good for their coats. i was told to do this by a show breeder i got my first yorkie from. |
thanks for the advice...i will have to try that... |
I always gave my dogs in the past 1 scrambled egg once a week for their coat and they would gobble it up. Not Buddy, he walks away and won't touch it. Last Sun I mixed it up with his food, he looked up at me as if to say, You not fooling me, I'm not eating that stuff and walked away. I threw it away and started over with his regular food. I always thought it was good for their coat as well. |
