Guest Memphsmom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Well dang, my mom needed a dozen eggs today so I got them out of the refrigerator and set them on the counter for her. We got to talking and decided to run to the store real quick for a few more things she needed. While I was at the store my DH called to ask me if I had fed the boys the dozen on purpose, lol he came home and found a half eaten egg carton and a few egg shells on the floor. In my mind I can see exactly what happened, Memphis pulls the carton off the counter and starts munching down, then my pig/ Rhodesian ridgeback robs him of his prize and heads for the living room ( his favorite place to hide his treats) such bad doggies! I just don't know if I should be worried about that much egg, these two are master thieves! Edited August 10, 2015 by Memphsmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedHead Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I feed about a dozen per week to my guy...never had any digestive issues with raw eggs in any dog I have owned. One of the best sources of protein out there Not sure how many eggs each of your pups got, they might have a bit of digestive upset, but nothing I would be too worried about.

NeylasMom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I wouldn't worry. Much worse things they could have eaten in large quantities.

Guest Memphsmom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks for the reassurance, I am less worried about Bruce the ridgeback, he is a garbage disposal. He once ate a whole lemon cake that was cooling on the counter. Memphis on the other hand seems to suffer more when he gets into things. I guess eggs are better then some of the stuff they have gotten. lol I swear they work well together when it comes to the planning and execution of their little heists.

Brandiandwe Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Three of my four are fine. Paige, who is sensitive to red meat and various other things, and is a little picky, gets a bit of digestive upset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTRAWLD Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I give one egg about twice a week to mine. No issues. The shells are actually more worrisome than the eggs themselves. Get ready for some whitish poop!

Guest Memphsmom Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 When you bring up frozen poop it made me realize that one of my pup's favorite treats is frozen chicken poop ( I keep a few chickens), so eggs should be no problem The only bad side effects was a stinky nights sleep as Bruce sleeps next to my side of the bed and had the worst gas I may have ever had to endure. I slept that night with a pillow over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobesmom Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Of all the things dogs could get into, eggs are about the best! I highly doubt there will be any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascalsmom Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I regularly give Phoebe raw eggs. We have four chickens and sometimes they peck a hole in one of their eggs. Phoebe gets those (same day as they're laid). In fact she will take a whole egg out of my hand and eat the entire thing, shell and all. My husband was horrified the first time he saw her do that.

Guest Lillypad Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Raw eggs are great. Start out slow.. too many, too soon may cause some diarrhea/loose bowel. But otherwise eggs are natures best packaged food. BTW dogs do not suffer cholesterol problems... like we humans.. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliemac Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 My dogs only eat eggs scrambled, with a bit of cheese (and maybe ham) added. However, my holistic vet really prefers them to eat them raw. And shells will just give them a bit of calcium if they can absorb it. Hope everyone handled the feast well! Any updates?
