I just gave my cat and dog each a raw egg... My dog ate it in less than a min. My cat, Weston was asleep but then woke up, then i picked him up and showed him where it was.
i gave my dog and cats scrambled eggs b4, the raw ones i gave them were the ones our chickens layed, they were outside too long(about a week) then the hens stopped sitting on themThat's a nice Sunday Morning breakfast for the pets. Mine love scrambled eggs.
So...did Weston eat it once you showed him where it was? I'm surprised your dog didn't eat Westons, since he (the dog) liked it so much!I just gave my cat and dog each a raw egg...

Really, I didnt know about the yolk balancing out the white on this issue.Raw egg white contains avidin, a glycoprotein that binds to biotin and prevents its absorption. Eating an excess of only raw egg whites will result in a biotin deficiency, but since cooking denatures the avidin, cooked egg whites are fine. It just so happens that raw egg yolks are very rich in biotin, so as long as the raw Reallwhites are consumed along with the raw yolks, there shouldn't be a problem.
It's safe to feed whole raw eggs, but the yolk is the nutrient dense portion and can safely be fed without the whites, while the reverse is not the case. Cooking egg whites "deactivates" the avidin, thus egg whites, very low in phosphorus, make a good substitute for some meat for kitties with CRF/CKD.Although egg is a high quality food ingredient, the white of the egg (albumen) contains several inhibitory substances that alter the metabolism of specific nutrients. The two most important are avidin, an inhibitor of biotin absorption, and a compound that interferes with the action of the pancreatic protease, trypsin (trypsin inhibitor). The antitryptic activity of egg white is a characteristic that is much less well documented in current literature than avidin, yet one that has the potential for causing severe nutritional imbalances.

Careful that you don't throw the calcium/phosphorus ratio off with that much egg, since yolks are high in phosphorus. Might need to add in a measured amount of eggshell as well to compensate.My two raw eaters are 5 months old, so I am trying to keep them full (plus they are eating probably 50% more than an adult per day)
Plus eggs are dirt cheap, if it is safe for them to have 1-2 yolks in their food a day, then it would be a economical way to bulk up the commercial raw (Radcat is damn near 9 a lb at my store, no shipping!)

I knew you'd answer that question for me.I feed 2 raw egg yolks per week, and don't adjust the calcium.
Raw eggs help the dogs coat look bettercattree, I am being lazy here (should use the google) but other than tasty treat, any reason you give your dogs raw eggs?
Do you give them whole, crushed, or no shell.
There is a reason for raw feeding of cats, it escapes me, but consider that it is one of the ingredients in Alnutrin supplement for DIY raw feeders.
You dont need to let it down the drain. You use it for something. In baking, in soup.I have no problem pouring the white down the drain, but if I could use it,
No no no pls do not do that . Salmonella just like us you have to cook it and make sure it's egg white because the fact could be harmful cuz obesity and diabetes all kinds of bad stuff they're not human and they're little bodies can only take so much a cat one tablespoon of egg white just a supplement what they don't have in their diet for dogs they don't know much about dogs but please don't give him a ride because he can't get salmonellaI just gave my cat and dog each a raw egg...
