Giving Eggs to your Dog

Chicken, duck or turtle eggs are rich in mineral salt and vitamins. The peel, crushed to dust by using a flat stone and given in small quantities, constitutes a good source of natural calcium and contributes to the formation of a solid bone structure. The peel is not so easy to dissolve, but the powerful digestive juices of a healthy dog will assimilate it perfectly.

Following my advice, breeders have been successfully using this bone fortifier; I have been using this system for a long time now. It is essential to elaborate our own egg peel powder. Don't buy the expensive product that is commercialized under the name "natural product" which in most cases is out of date; it is not fresh and can stick to the internal walls all of the digestive channel, becoming a danger. Use the egg peel in such small quantities as if you were dealing with salt.

The eggs must be fresh, because if not the powder won't be digested well. You have to administer it raw, because cooking or toasting it will make it stick to the digestive tube. The dose is one egg every two days, the same for an adult dog as for a puppy. Eggs are natural food for dogs, which look for them and remove them from the nest of wild birds -- for example the ones they hunt -- that lay there eggs on the ground. This food, however, isn't advisable for sick dogs because it ferments easily. In case of a high fever, for example, the egg can poison the organism very quickly, instead of strengthening it.

Among all the foods that are (wrongfully) suggested for sick dogs that are going through a treatment, the egg-milk mixture is without a doubt the least wise and, sad to say, the most used. Administering that combination has only resulted in ruining orthodox treatments (classical) like the popular use of that destructive group of medications based on sulphonamides. It is said that raw egg white is bad for the health: I do not agree! Notorious egg thieves like the fox, the weasel, the cat or the rat live pretty healthily.
