Feeding Raw Eggs

Post by Ricko »

My wife raises chickens, which gives us an endless supply of eggs. I was wonder if there would be any advantage to feeding a raw egg or two to the dogs each week mixed in their food?

Dogs cannot digest raw egg whites. They can digest the yolk. Raw egg white will usually cause a problem, especially if given alot. Premium feed should contain all dog needs but it probably would like treats also. Boil the egg.
