Are raw eggs okay for dogs?
I was reading on here last night a bunch of folks give their dogs raw eggs, shell and all, and it seemed to be a very popular method.
I was a little surprised that people didnt recommend cooking them or at least hard boiling them, due to the salmonella risk that is in every raw egg (no matter how slight).
Anyways I was looking up my juicing thing today to see if there were any "bad foods" for dogs.
Raw eggs came up. Just wanted to copy paste this in here for anyone who cares:
"Raw Eggs
There are two problems with giving your dog raw eggs. The first is the possibility of food poisoning from bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli. The second is that an enzyme in raw eggs interferes with the absorption of a particular B vitamin. This can cause skin problems as well as problems with your dog's coat if raw eggs are fed for a long time."
