Some dogs will eat absolutely anything. I had a yellow lab who would run his
nose up and down our tomato plants and eat any which were ripe. This same dog
ate a tray of Halloween candy (including wrappers and sucker sticks) when we
forgot to put the gate up. I had to make both labs empty their stomachs just
in case (with hydrogen peroxide in broth), but the black one had eaten nothing.
One Easter we got home and looked for the eggs which we'd dyed. We found a
part of a shell. The yellow lab had eaten 24 hard boiled eggs.....and had no
bad effects from it. Once I fed the 3 dogs leftover lean turkey.....When I got
home from work, the kitchen was so covered with runny poop that I could hardly
walk through. I'll never give a dog turkey again! The yellow lab ate part of
a night light bulb and a rubber glove, too. It's a wonder that dog survived
all he did.
I tried to give my Australian Cattle Dog raw meat with bones.....lamb necks and
organic chicken thighs. I started adding it in addition to her dry foods, but
she had terrible gas. When I give her a raw egg, she has gas if I include the
white. I think foods like Newman's Own organic or Blue Buffalo are well
balanced. We've used Solid Gold but my dog quit eating it eventually, and
Innova which caused gas problems, but I think they're basically good. I don't
think there are any decent dog foods available in grocery stores. Sometimes
raw meats are just not an option (traveling in a truck or rv) but I'm worried
about manufactured foods. Even the quality foods can accidentally contain a
contaminated ingredient.
