Everyday eggs for dogs

[StephyMei1112]

Huh, it's quite cheap here - it's often on sale in really large quantities. Oh well, whatever is cheapest in the OP's area then.

Um what? Definitely not, SD and Royal Canin are amongst the most expensive big name foods available. Not something you're going to buy if you're on a tight budget.

I would try to find some cheap dog food to feed. Dog Chow or heck even Pedigree or Ol Roy.

It's not ideal but it would be better than feeding mostly eggs and rice. You can really mess a dog up by not meeting their nutrition needs. If you could afford it you could add raw eggs to the cheap food to help add in some quality to the diet.

20 lb Ol Roy on Walmart is listed as $9.98

Ol Roy performance 50 lb bag is just $23.

46 lb Dog Chow is also only $23.

It's not great but it sure beats starving.

Go out and buy the best dog food that you can afford... then you can feed healthy leftovers and eggs with the kibble, to supplement it. That will make the dog food last a lot longer, and it will be so much better for your dog. It's essential that he gets all of the nutrients he needs, and any AAFO approved dog food, even really low quality food provides that. You can buy a 30 lbs of dog food for $10. If you do not have $10, surrender the dog to a shelter and take care of yourself!

Definitely look for dogfood "banks". Also, I'd give you a bag of dogfood if you mow my lawn. Well, if I didn't just mow it last night, but next week it will need mowing again.

I wouldn't find him a new home. This is the dog that hates (OP's words) and has bitten a child, and now the owner can't afford to feed the dog anything but eggs, rice and table scraps. I would put the dog down, and then do some very serious research and planning before ever getting another one.

Wow. Didn't know about the dog biting. I say if you're having that much trouble with the dog that you 1) can't feed it and 2) can't keep it from biting I'd put it down.

Uh, get rid of the dog. If you can't afford a bag of dog food (which is cheaper than eggs, btw) you shouldn't have a dog. My local feed store sells a giant bag of dog food (50 lbs) for 20 bucks. If you can't afford that, find your dog a new home with someone who can.

Wow. Didn't know about the dog biting.

I think someone needs a dirt nap (dog) and someone else (dog's owner) should never get another dog unless their financial situation changes drastically and they've done waaaaaaaaaaaaayyy more research on how to pick a good stable pet.

Not raw eggs

Hello ZeeKee

I found this in dog-food-aid.com

"Raw Eggs. An enzyme in raw eggs interferes with the absorption of a particular B vitamin, which can cause skin problems."

So cooked are preferable but doubt it should be everyday!

Scraps of raw and cooked vegetables and some raw meat when you can - there are vegetarian dogs who have nothing other than vegetables - interesting reading here;

Hope this helps - Good Luck
