Is my active puppy's diet healthy? Should I feed bread or eggs?

Cooked eggs and vegetables are fine to give occasionally. Bread should not be given as it is not healthy. Limit any "extras" to no more than 10% of Shadow's diet. He should be eating mainly the Royal Canin diet.

No, you should not do that as it would alter the nutritional composition of your dog's food. You should feed a good quality complete puppy food for large dogs. This would be proper food that provides your dog with everything he needs. You can give a boiled egg once in a while as a treat but not as a regular supplement with his feed.

Hi there. If this is being fed as one of their main meals for the day, then yes, it is unhealthy - this is not complete or nutritionally balanced, and is not an appropriate long-term diet for any dog. I would recommend feeding a good-quality commercial dog food such as Purina ProPlan, Iams/Eukanuba, or Royal Canin. Any treats or supplemental feeding beyond that should make up no more than 10% of the total diet. If your mother-in-law wants to prepare food for the dogs at home, she needs to use the website www.balanceit.com to formulate an appropriate recipe, or consult with a veterinary nutritionist.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Murphy. I do not recommend feeding him an egg every day. An egg is actually a fair amount of calories for a puppy. It will likely fill him up and he will eat less dog food. It could also lead to unnecessary weight gain. His puppy food is appropriately formulated for his growth and development. I hope this information helps!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Goodness Paddy is super cute! I would cut out the egg. We want growing puppies to eat the puppy food and get the nutrients they need. Dogs are smart and will pick out the parts they want. If you want to add egg to the diet do it less often (1-2 times per week). I think 3 times a day feeding is as much as you should do and I would only do it until 12-14 weeks of age then do twice s day feeding. From your pictures he looks to be a healthy weight. You can add water or a little bit of canned puppy food to the dry to encourage him to eat it. He also may not need as much as you are offering. The bag is good place to find out how much to feed but if the puppy is to think give more or too fat give less. I wish you all the best!

As long as they aren't the main portion of the diet and you see no signs of GI upset, then raw eggs are fine. They are actually quite healthy for dogs, she'll and all. Feeding eggs daily may interfere with digestion in a young pup.

Absolutely not. Egg whites contain avidine which destroys vitamin H which is crucial for your dog's hair and nail growth. If you are feeding a complete good quality dog food for medium sized dogs you do not need to supplement her food. You would alter the nutritional balance which then would detrimental. Please only feed commercial dog food. Your dog will then be happy and healthy.
