She's a chocolate lab. Three months old. She doesn't really like her dry dog food. What can I do to get her to eat it? Is an egg okay?

Some dogs are allergic to eggs? Why do you want to add eggs? Our pets need quality pet food. Read the ingredients list and learn what the stuff on there is and what it does (or does not do) to/for our pets. A quick pet food 101. If the pet food contains corn/corn products or by products it is a poor quality food. Do not pay attention to advertising, they all say there food is great. Corn is a filler that can trigger skin problems. (allergies, skin problems, itching and excessive shedding) By products is anything from an animal not fit for human consumption, including cancerous tissue. Quality foods have meat as the first ingredient. California Natural, Solid Gold, Innova and Merrick are a few of the best brands available.

Our black lab would devour anything we would give her. She loves eggs and we always put a bit in her bowl when we have them.
If she's not eating... this week my husband is out of town. The pup gets depressed when he's not around and doesn't touch her kibble. The only thing that we've found that get's her eating is the IAMS savory sauce for dog food. I just pour a bit on her kibble, mix it in and she inhales the stuff! If it weren't for that sauce, she wouldn't eat a bite when hubby is away.

On occasion, it wouldn't hurt, but I don't advise making it a habit. Its too rich for her digestive system and you could inadvertently be training her to eat "people food" instead of her dog food. Have you tried changing her food? She should be on a dry-type of puppy food. If she already is, then you might try adding a little warm water to make it like a stew. Sometimes that works.

Eggs are very good for dogs. In fact, they are an excellent form of protein, as long as they are cooked. Raw egg whites bind to the biotin that a dog ingests and prevents it from being properly absorbed. That can cause a vitamin deficiency.
If you do feed eggs, they are best fed cooked and fed only a couple times a week.

Raw or cooked egg is fine to give her, even daily. They say raw egg is the best way to fight off Parvo too. I had a friend whos dog tested positive for Parvo and he gave her one raw egg twice a day for a three weeks and she no longer had Parvo. Supposedly the salmonilla posioning counteracts the parvo virus and they kill eachother off.
So absolutely, crack an egg open and let it slide right down her throat. It's good for her and will do wonders for her teeth, coat, nails, improve eye sight, build muscle and fight off Parvo!

I don't really know. I don't think it could do any harm. But if you are afraid it's bad for it, wait a while longer
