Egg Shells?!

[tracyd]

ok, just given bailey an egg and the shell.  he has eaten all the egg and spat every piece of shell out by the side of his bowl in a pile!!

Mine eat raw eggs but have never liked the egg shell very much so I dry them out and grind them into dust and sprinkle them over their food.
I would give eggs up to 3 times per week, but you could give egg shells daily if you wanted. If however they get a regular supply of bones then there is no real need for that often as they will get plenty of calcium from the bones.

I have always broken up and mixed any eggshells I have into Willow's food as she too wouldn't eat the shells by themselves.

Bracken will crunch her way through endless egg shells (she sits and waits while I bake) hoovering up every last bit. This is yet another trick that Willow has now learnt from Bracken. Willow was such a naive little doglet  before that Bracken came along.

My two love raw eggs but only Zorro eats the shells - in fact he likes them so much he has Bella's once she's finished as well...    It always makes me feel slightly queazy the thought of crunching down on egg shell but who am I to question young Zorro?

is the raw egg thing good for puppies? ellie is 5 months (she loves scrambled egg) but never thought they could have it raw - is there no risk from salmonella?
