Raw Eggs

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Hi everyone. Just a quick question. Someone told me that a raw egg once or twice is very good for the coat. Is it true? Im always cautious about raw things especially eggs but could be different with dogs.

  • I don't know anything about eggs in particular, but dogs do eat raw stuff in the wild. Think about what a basenji would eat in Africa… you can guarantee nobody is cooking their catch for them. Lots of people feed raw food and swear by it. I would if I could afford it. Again, I don't know about eggs, but raw meat is what they are designed to eat.

  • Yes, of course, the raw food is good not a problem but not sure about raw eggs.

  • Many feed raw eggs daily. I have fed mine raw eggs, shells and all

  • I occasionally give my Basenjis raw eggs which they love and with no ill effects. My Anatolian Karabash was raised on raw eggs only for the first six months with me. They were the only things that she would eat. They never did her harm and I'm sure saved her life as she just would not eat anything else at all.

  • Never heard anything bad about raw eggs in the diet for Basenjis. However, my older male pukes even at the mention of eggs:(. My younger girl LOVES them, too much. (My loved but chubby one:))

    @Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can. Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    mmm Sounds Tasty. I cooked Cairo's food for the first few years, then moved him to a raw meat diet for a few years. We had a Dalmation who liked raw food, and though she mothered Cairo he would eat this food unusually fast to stop her from getting it first. But when she died, he went off the raw meat so I resummed cooking it up. These days I find he prefers cooked food and eats more of it than with the raw stuff. But it never seemed to do him any harm so good luck with finding a diet that your B likes.
