Ok this might be a very silly question but how do you guys feed a raw egg?
I see the following "issues".
1. Given whole - dog picks it up and crunches - whites and yolk run from his jowls and onto the kitchen floor.
2. Given whole - dog picks it up and crunches it over his bowl - whites and yolk run from his jowls and onto his raw food which he then picks up and begins to swab the kitchen floor with.
3. Given broken and strewn over his food - same event as in #2.
The ONLY thing I can come up with is to make a doggy meatloaf with his ground beef - combine the beef and crushed egg and make a raw meatloaf for him to slurp down. Slurping with the ground beef is what he does - now chewing - just swallows it - so I'm thinking the egg then will follow and not be an "issue" on the floor.
BTW - he LOVES chicken necks - so much now that he has stopped chewing them - he'll give them a quick crunch or two and then gulp - down the hatch they go!

I break it into the bowl and mix it around. I have to add that raw egg yolk for some dogs is in the same category as liver -- start with a small amount.
(Don't feed raw egg white alone, though, because of the avidin, which depletes biotin, but which the yolk partly replenishes.)

I mash up the shell with a fork and stir it all together, like making scrambled eggs...with bits of shell in it! They lick this out of their bowls, with or without other food.
Turbo has never had a problem eating eggs. Last year, at my Grandparents, he found where one of the hens had started a nest in the woods, and helped himself to an egg.(no roosters, so no chicks:wink For some reason, he avoided the shell like the plague. Ate everything else, but did not want that shell. Weird.

I know what you mean by that. I save egg shells and mix them if I give ground and poor Mimi looks at me with pitiful eyes like "Why are you doing this to me?" and does this funny thing with her tongue like she is trying to get the meat and spit out the shell. Funny.
