Re: Raw Egg
I do, but not every day also. Can't think of a good reason not to, and the shell ground up as well ...Ez4 wrote:

Re: Raw Egg
Having to clean the bowl well after may not be a reason not to do it, but is something to be mindful of.
Re: Raw Egg
According to my firend Doc E : Albumin (egg white) must be coagulated before it can be assimilated. It can be coagulated by cooking or chemically.
If it's coagulated chemically (in the body), it takes large amounts of Biotin to do so. This can lead to biotin deficiency.
Egg yolk can be well digested and used regardless of being raw or cooked.
The best way to give egg (for a shiney coat) is sunny side up or over easy...... Just as long as the egg white is actually white and not clear.

Re: Raw Egg
I tried giving raw egg to my dogs for a bit. It loosened them up.

Re: Raw Egg
on a side note, One thing the raw food folk kill me with is the statement, "Cooking the egg removes most of the nutritional value" All I can say is show me the science, because my personal BS meter is pinned off the scale.

Re: Raw Egg
I don't believe much is lost in cooking an egg but like I said I just don't like cooking for my dog, besides, egg eaters in the wild don't cook the eggs they steal.aulrich wrote:on a side note, One thing the raw food folk kill me with is the statement, "Cooking the egg removes most of the nutritional value" All I can say is show me the science, because my personal BS meter is pinned off the scale.

Re: Raw Egg
Looking at your last 3 or 4 posts and everyone of them come down to your favorite phrase "I think". Sorry but what you think is just that, your thoughts, and have little to do with reality and nothing to do with what someone else should do or follow. Nothing wrong with having thoughts but before they should be given much credence there needs to be some evidence that they are fact. And the closest you have come to that is the phrase I hear you make is " mother nature can't be wrong". And I think we all know mother nature is often wrong if you are using that in the area of what to eat. How about mushrooms/ But more realistic is that you can find everything you need in nature but sadly Mother Nature has never felt the need to label what she produces so we would never know what ot how much to eat if we didn't do the research and prove what is needed and how to get it.Bounty_Hunter wrote:I don't believe much is lost in cooking an egg but like I said I just don't like cooking for my dog, besides, egg eaters in the wild don't cook the eggs they steal.aulrich wrote:on a side note, One thing the raw food folk kill me with is the statement, "Cooking the egg removes most of the nutritional value" All I can say is show me the science, because my personal BS meter is pinned off the scale.
No matter though since all you are able to post is "I believe" and that trumps everything else.

Re: Raw Egg
Well, the question at hand didn't seem life or death so I threw some thought in with a little info. Eggs are fine served either way to a dog, just better done on a limited basis. As for mushrooms, some of natures deadliest toxins are found in mushrooms. I wont go there. I do harvest different varieties during the spring and fall but I still wont go there. An old saying to live by, { There are old mushroom pickers and there are bold mushroom pickers, but there are no old bold mushroom pickers.}ezzy333 wrote:Looking at your last 3 or 4 posts and everyone of them come down to your favorite phrase "I think".

Re: Raw Egg
I think in most cases a good quality dog feed should do the trick however I have a couple of males with high metabolism that I supplement their feed with fish oil tablets. I told myself to stay away from these food discussions so I'm out of here.
Re: Raw Egg
Eggs and oil will shine up the coat.
Cooking the egg will increase the availability of nutrients, but for the trouble I wouldn't bother.

Re: Raw Egg
i will throw in my two pennies, as a chef i learned that the white of the egg is where a large majority of food born illness comes from, also the white is a majority complex carbs. Now the yolk on the other hand is full of beneficial proteins and fats, when i feed my dog every now and then ill throw her a yolk with her food. just my thoughts

Re: Raw Egg
Past the pros and cons of eggs, which are nearly overdone....I was just throwing in a couple of dog movie references...Old Yeller and also that egg-sucking biscuit eater Promise(1940 original version)....believe that had the dog pointing the quail from atop the split rail fence.Bounty_Hunter wrote:How about bacon and home fries?Mountaineer wrote:Old Yeller got a bum rap over the whole egg deal...I would avoid eggs and....biscuits.

Re: Raw Egg
I've never fed raw eggs, but am pleased with the results I've seen in my dog after adding eggs (and strip of bacon) whenever I feel she needs a boost of protein and fat).
A dog on point.....steady, yet trembling,
Breathing in and tasting the gentle breeze.
Take a moment for yourself to soak it all in,
All the training, the hard work.....it really has paid off.

Re: Raw Egg
The trouble I have with this is I have not found any information to believe this statement. Can you provide a link that explains the science behind this. I have read that some nutrition is lost during cooking but not much.slistoe wrote:Eggs and oil will shine up the coat.
Cooking the egg will increase the availability of nutrients, but for the trouble I wouldn't bother.

As a Chef, I don't want you cooking for me.llewellinsetter wrote: also the white is a majority complex carbs.
Now the yolk on the other hand is full of beneficial proteins and fats,
The egg white is over 99% Protein (no fat or carbs).
The yolk is carbs and especially fat and lots of vitamins..... Virtually NO Protein.
Go back to school --- or review your notes.
Re: Raw Egg
I posted the info in one of the long ago threads on this topic. If you don't want to search the threads you can do a google search for it - then find someone friendly who has access to a university library and they can get you the actual published study.Bounty_Hunter wrote:The trouble I have with this is I have not found any information to believe this statement.

The yolk has protein fat and carbs BUT does not harbor food borne illness(thats why you can put them in salad dressing raw), the white is also high in protein carbs and vitamins, BUT is where a Large majority of food borne illness comes from. That was the point of my post, you really don't want to get your dog sick i would imagine. BUT hey what do i know I didn't go to culinary school so ill never be a real chef right?

Re: Raw Egg
When I got my first pup some 35 years ago, all the old timers would tell me to give that dog a raw egg once a week, and whenever you cook bacon pour the grease over the food, they had no scientific studies or anything, it is just they way they were brought up. I believe that back in the day, a man's dog had to fend for itself quite a bit, for money was tight and they were lucky to put food on there own table. A lot of people had chickens back then and it was something that had good nutritional value, so if there were any table scraps for the dog, they would put an egg in with it. My grandpa raised shorthairs, and to listen about how those dogs were raised, would make a person cringe today, no vets, they clipped the dew claws and docked the tails themselves, no shots for the dogs, if the dog had to be put down it was a bullet between the eyes. I couldn't raise dogs like that, but they were a tool to use to help put food on the table. I believe people who use the raw eggs and bacon grease today are just going by what the old timers said you must do years ago. The food that we have for our dogs today is so much better than it was that I don't believe we need to do that. For occasional treats in my dogs food they will get pumpkin, plain yogurt, green beans, or peas, and they love it.
Re: Raw Egg
I have fed pumpkin before also, great to firm up soft stool.
