Eggs for shiny coat?

We give our dog eggs, she gets them added to her dog food on the weekend, a tad spoiled! lol She prefers her's fried with juicy yolk. But yes you can add a raw egg to their food and it does help their coat become more shiny. Also adding the juice/oil from canned tuna or bacon grease can help also.

Hmm... never heard of it before but I am thinking... if a human eats raw eggs, will it make our hair healthy and shiny as well? hehehe...

Word of caution: raw food and processed dog food digest at two different rates. If you feed raw with the dog food, the raw food will sit in the stomach longer and increase the dog's chances of bacterial infection. If you are going to feed raw, then feed raw. If you are going to feed dog food, then feed that. Do not mix the two in one meal!!! A lot of times dogs with more sensitive stomachs will get diarrhea from an egg. At some health food stores they sell quail eggs which are teeny tiny and will probably not cause as big an upset as a big chicken egg. There are also other things you can use as supplements. Fish oil caplets from the human pharmacy store also work well. Some people also use Evening Primrose oil caplets. My dogs are currently on Solid Gold SeaMeal which has kelp in it for coat growth, as well as ShowOff by k-9 Naturals. They are both available at Petco. More important than the supplements is a real good quality diet. A dog that is only getting the bare minimum of nutrition will not bloom as much as a dog on a good quality food.

We usually don't get our animals raw eggs but we do give them cooked eggs that we don't eat at breakfast or dinner but we don't do that everyday. I have heard that eggs are good for dogs and cats but I don't remember anything being said about raw eggs.

I used to do this with my dogs, however my rott/dobe mix developed a massive egg allergy. His ears swelled up and by the time I got him to the vet (started driving to the vet as soon as I noticed something was wrong), and in the 5 minute trip his neck started swelling. Homer had never had any food allergies prior to this, nor had he had any allergies after. I'm not at all trying to scare you though- just telling you my personal experience with it. A dog (or person) could have an allergy to anything, not just eggs lol. My ex gives raw eggs to all his dogs, and he is a firm believer in it. My Homer is now passed on, but I don't do it now because 3 of my dogs are Schnauzers.... raw egg in beared=nasty mess.

Accdg to my husband who is a self-confessed dog lover/addict, giving eggs to dogs for shinier and healthier coats is advisable but you have to check if your dog is allergic to it. It will be visible as red bumps if he is allergic to eggs. It will occur as early as 30 minutes after consumption.

I have heard this before, but I have never tried it to see if it doesn work. It sounds nasty, I wouldn't want to eat a raw egg. But what do I know. LOL
