Why feeding Dogs eggs and cheese is the wrong thing to do.

Squeeker · 05-09-2009, 10:02 PM

OMG, this is my favourite thread ever! Dude, if you are going to post unproven claims, at LEAST correct your grammar!

Quote:

Eggs leave a Dog starving.

Umm... did you know that eggs are in most dry dog foods?

Quote:

Eggs are for beings that feed themselfs. Not for Dogs.

I don't USUALLY feed my dog with silverware, like a toddler... but maybe I'm weird?

Quote:

Eggs starve dogs and deprive them of healthy stool circulation.

I have heard about blood circulation, and circulation in the lymphatic system, and there's always spinal fluid circulation... but this is the first time I have heard of the stool circulatory system! Circulating stool sounds particularly scary to me...

It has been being made for centuries.

ROFL @ 17th century dog food...

I've been a vegetarian since I was eight. Frequently, when I tell people about this dietary choice, they ask, "Do you eat chicken?"

Perhaps the idea that chicken is a dairy product is more pervasive than you thought.

Best statement yet! LOL Very witty! I guess that's what people mean when they say, "I'm a vegetarian, but I eat chicken and fish". LOL Did you know that fish is also a dairy?

"17th century dog food" gets honorable mention. Too funny!

This is almost as good as the story that circulated a few years ago that the fastest way (for humans) to lose weight is to eat nothing but hard boiled eggs, The theory was that it takes more calories to digest a hard boiled egg than the egg contains...R_I_G_H_T!

My dogs and I all love eggs and cheese. The dogs at least are not fat, lethargic and ugly (I won't discuss my condition; I might be biased).

Didn't the op say you should be arrested? All you people should go to jail for feeding your dog and for that matter, yourselfs, eggs and cheese. And dog food has not been around for centuries, where are you from OP? Apparently, kibble grew on trees or fell from the sky and then there was Alpo. And God was happy.

Again, ha ha..she says as her co-workers wonder what has her laughing so hard she is crying! This has to be the most entertaining thread ever.

Phew... Sorry it took me so long but I've been at the vets office. My dog ate a piece of cheese and came down with a serious case of the uglies! He also seemed to be getting fat (a known side effect of cheese) so the vet recommended I give him some eggs to starve him down to the proper size.

Take a good look: this is the face of a cheese eater. Oh the humanity!

flipgirl · 05-11-2009, 04:51 PM

...and then came the Big Black Dog with such an adorable face that dogs could not resist taking a bite of the egg and a sliver of cheese....and hence, original sin was born..any dogs who ate eggs starved to death and any dogs who ate cheese became so fat they burst ...and that's how life on Earth began....And from then on, God ruled that dogs with shiny coats and healthy body conditions should be banished from heaven and sent to Lucifer, the adorable Big Black Dog. And there, these dogs, excommunicated from Paradise, would be forced to eat eggs and cheese for the rest of their afterlives. Deliver them from eggs and cheese....

I guess I'd be banished to doggie hell because I could eat cheese omelettes forever. I think I'll have to call Animal Control so they can go door to door to make sure no one is feeding their dogs eggs and cheese. Owners should be sent to prison and their dogs left on the streets to eat garbage and crap.

Oh, the inhumanity of it all...everyone on DF will probably be arrested for animal abuse...

The voices aren't real?

I could be mistaken, but I don't think commercial dog food has been around for ONE century, let alone multiple centuries, and dogs ate table scraps etc. before that. I'm also pretty sure those table scraps included bits of eggs and cheese. Where the heck are you getting your info?

I really think you need to take a look at the food pyramid. Note where eggs are located:
http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/Fpyr/pmap.htm
http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/he...l-food-pyramid

Eggs are in the MEAT group, have an incredible amount of protein, and are very digestible. Therefore, supplementing a dog's diet with them is normally considered a GOOD thing. The only way it would be bad is if an individual dog has an intolerance to eggs. I give my dogs eggs regularly along with their normal food. They also get cheese on occasion as a treat. The vet says they're both perfectly healthy.

So funny....got a good laugh all thanks

he he

Lostball · 05-13-2009, 05:05 PM

Have any of you ever fed your dogs oatmeal? I have been reading on the internet that it is supposed to be good for them. I also understand that corn and wheat products are bad for the dog.
We give our Callie her vitamins in a small piece of cheese, otherwise she will not take them. Excellent vitamins as well and they are Cataplex E which gets rid of free radicals in their body; Arginex for kidney cleansing and Cyruta Plus for strengthening the capillary walls. She is doing real well with them. We also have been feeding Wellness and Solid Gold.

LadyD · 05-13-2009, 07:35 PM

I just took my Boston to the vet today. She said that he was in exellent health. She also said that 2 eggs per week per 25 lbs of body weight was A-OK. I also give him a pinch of shredded cheese occasionally on his dry dog food. I wonder if she'll turn me in to the dog food police?

Gotta go, somebody banging on my door with a battering ram.

LMAO You guys are nuts!!! Thanks for the good laugh! ;o)

alphadoginthehouse · 05-13-2009, 08:15 PM

Lady D...welcome to the warped minds of some of the members of DF! I kept waiting for the police to arrest me when I gave my mutts scrambled eggs Sat night!

BTW...the OP has not posted to this forum since this thread. Guess he/she didn't like the responses...poor baby!

flipgirl · 05-14-2009, 01:19 AM

The egg and cheese police got him....then in the box, he ate some cheese and fed his dog eggs....he spontaneously burst and his dog disintegrated.
