Raw eggs for a dog?

Question

I've heard of this before and was wondering what the benefits might be.

Answer 1

Raw egg white interfer with the absorption of biotin,the yolks are fine

Answer 2

Raw eggs promote a shiny coat. Dogs can have raw eggs as well as cooked, however, I don't think you should give a dog eggs daily. Maybe, as deltadawn suggested, once or twice a week.

Edit: Yes, there is a chance of salmonella, but if you get your eggs from a reliable source, it's perfectly fine. A RAW/BARF diet for dogs is very controversial, but people who actually try it have seen lots of improvements, and to them, the benefits outweigh the risk of illnesses in the food.

Answer 3

The negatives may outweigh the benefits. Feeding raw eggs increase the chances of contracting salmonella. I wouldn't recommend feeding this but find another means of supplement for you dogs.

Answer 4

My husband laughs at me because I cook the eggs I feed my dogs.
Your first responder gave you the information on the benefits, and I hope you choose to feed your dog some egg... maybe one a week.

Answer 5

Eggs are a good nutrition for a dog and they make their coat shine but it will cause your dog to shed severely if given to many eggs . You will start to see patches of shed fur in differant parts of your dog. Only give them one a week mixed in there dog food if there over 100lbs. Every two weeks if they are smaller.

Answer 6

There is no benefit.. Raw eggs are not good for dogs. Cooked eggs are fine. Raw eggs are not good at all.

Answer 7

They are great for their skin and coat, but when you feed it to them, put the raw egg and shell, because it balances out the nutrients.

Answer 8

Excellent, but only once or twice weekly and only the egg yolk.
The whites are harder to digest.
Benefits are high quality protein and does give dog energy, shinier coat.
