Puppy eating chicken eggs

[BrownSheep]

Seems like a good idea to me. My dogs steal eggs as well, but with so many chickens I do t really care. That and I don't eat eggs so I think they get my share.

Breaking a dog of egg stealing with mustard (or salt) is not cruel by any means. Mustard and salt are both perfectly edible to the dog and are just not palatable (they don't taste good).

Sometimes dogs just like the taste of eggs as children like the taste of candy, it doesn't mean that they are lacking in their diet.

x2. I couldn't agree with you more.

I'm sure your puppy isn't lacking anything in its diet...probably just likes eggs. We feed our dogs well and one still will go sniffing out and eating silly things...even a dried up big old dead toad she found...toad jerky...LOL...I'd give the mustard or salt egg a try. This may sound cruel to some, but if that didn't work, I'd try adding a dash of hot sauce to it.

Heck I feed my Cat the rare egg, he loves them.

Dog food and water is in no way at all the same as feeding a human bread and water. Bread is not a nutritionally complete food for humans. Dog food is nutritionally complete for dogs. Supplementing is great, but dogs do great on dog food without supplements.

How is the dog able to access the eggs? I'd first try eliminating his access to the eggs. If that didn't work, then try the mustard or salt. It's not cruel, it just tastes bad.

When I let my chickens out to freerange he stands up on the nesting box and reaches in. I usually pull any eggs I see when I open it but they go in and lay. Their favorite nesting boxes are on the bottom. Silly dogs. But they are turning out fantastic. Thank you all for all the advice.

My puppy went through a phase of stealing eggs when she was younger. She is 5 months old now and hasn't stolen eggs for quite a long time! (Knock on wood!) And I agree, feeding a dog kibble isn't really like a person living on bread and water only... But... It's more like never eating anything but McDonald's, beef jerky, potato chips, and all that other processed junk food people eat, but isn't exactly the best thing for them. I do feed my pup kibble, but I also give her fresh veggies, raw meat, raw eggs, etc, to supplement. It's much healthier for them than eating processed to death food all their lives. They need the enzymes and nutrients from fresh food as much as we do. My neighbors keep gushing about how beautiful and extra shiny she is every time she gets loose and tries to go play with their dogs.
