Is it safe to feed my young Labrador puppy eggs or homemade diet?

Eggs are a highly nutritious snack but should not be fed raw regularly as there is avidin in them which binds with biotin, an important vitamin. Whitening the egg with boiling water or cooking is preferred

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Raw items especially raw eggs are not recommended for dogs as they can develop infections from that especially Salmonella. If Snow likes eggs, you can cook it before giving it to her. Good luck and have a great night!

You can give a BOILED egg as a treat once in a while. However, if you feed a complete puppy food for large sized dogs, you do not need to feed any eggs. Do not feed raw eggs as this will cause health problems (they contain avidine which causes biotin deficiency which in turn causes problems with your dog's nails and fur.

Bread isn't really a great choice to feed a dog, it is quite stodgey and fattening and the gluten can upset dog's stomachs. Moreover an occasional egg is okay but they are quite fatty so shouldn't be fed all the time. With this diet your dog is likely not getting the correct balance of nutrients. I would highly recommend feeding the best complete dog food you can afford, twice a day. If you really want you can add healthy foods to the diet to supplement it.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Eggs are very healthy for dogs (and humans). The yolk is fatty however, so you need to watch how many calories of dog food you are feeding so Peanut doesn’t become overweight. Also, if you are feeding a high quality dog food (like Hills, Purina One, Royal Canin, or Iams) you shouldn’t need to add eggs. Good luck and kisses to Peanut!

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.

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!
