Thank you for this video. My dog loves to chew on bones. I recently moved so she cannot get what she used to in her diet. I noticed she was eating the egg shells as they were. I knew she had a deficiency then. Glad I found your video. Thank you 😊
most of the food that is discarded by humans are a great source of protein and essential nutrients to carnivorous pets, Eg : egg shells, bones and cartilage, organs, Offal, Fish bones and head, Mixing all this with a good source of binding agents like grains, fiber rich vegetables and psyllium husk ensures that your pet is getting all the nutritional requirements and has a healthy gut the pet needs to digest the food and absorb the nutrients, no matter what you feed your pet if its not absorbed it just turns to poop.
I have done this whole process but saw other vids saying I had to boil the shells first. I rinsed the shells, placed them on a sheet to dry, and cooked the shells at 350 degrees for 30 mins. I then ground the eggs up. Do I need to throw these out and do a different batch? Not sure why everyone says boil as I would think that would take a ton of nutrition out. Do I need to boil first, or is high temps in an oven enough? Thanks.
They suggest boiling to kill the bacteria prior to baking the shells. I've researched multiple Vets recommendations and depending on who you listen to some suggest boiling and others recommend exactly what Robert suggested so take your pick.
Not a dumb question, it probably does reduce a large portion of the nutrients. You could just get a mortar and pestle clean out the shell then let it dry then grind it up. That way you’d be getting the maximum amount of nutrients.
Hello sir, do we need to put water while grinding ...Can we sell it after making powder..Thanks for informative video..Love to know more from u about this eggshell from northeast india

Thank you! and this will be fine for me.. I am lactose intolerant - can't take calcium from milk! Great stuff!
You can also put them to a blender and make a calcium gravy, which is easy to mix with ground raw meat.
that is smart, thanks for sharing and I can now do this for my GSD puppy :)

Thanks Robert. Very informative!
I was saving shells for me but makes total sense she would need it too.
Thanks so much for this excellent information which I will now use! I appreciate your sharing this! Blessings!🙏😊👵🎶🐦
Seen this vid not long ago and giving it ago right now, thank you :)
Will do! Awesome tip! Thank you!
This is a cool idea.
What does your dog's diet look like? I'm not sure if you've touched on that in any other videos. Thanks!
My dog has a lightly boiled egg in its shell every morning. Just crunched up and mixed with other food.

don't think it matters... these were from hard boiled eggs.

This is probably a dumb question but does heating the eggshells get rid of the calcium and other good stuff?

How much do you think would be recommended for an 18lb dog?
Good for glucosamine as well
Hi Robert,
What are your thoughts on giving a dog 1 raw egg and shell crushed into his raw meat ? Acceptable ?
I do it. Yes!
@@RobertCabralDogs Truely appreciate your channel.
A big thank you from Wyoming, NSW Australia

Hello sir, do we need to put water while grinding ...Can we sell it after making powder..Thanks for informative video..Love to know more from u about this eggshell from northeast india
No water.
Hi.
If my dog need 200 mg of this eggshell powder how many teaspoon is that?
Use a micro scale.
if the shells are dry enough. is it ok not to bake it? i dont have oven
Great Vid :)
How many eggshells did you use? I want to try this next week for my beautiful 4-month-old Akita
no idea
is it ok to not bake it ?
Ok, so I've been saving my eggshells, grinding and sprinkle on dog food. I have not, however, baked prior!! Ugh...
Do you feed your dogs a fresh diet or kibble?
Mostly all kibble now.
Do you have to bake them?
And do you have to freeze them?
I use both boiled egg shells and fried egg shells let them dry out then grind them till powdered and add to the dogs food daily.......
Can I replace the bones in the Barf diet with this powder?
Bones help with clean teeth and marrow. The powder provides calcium.
👍
If I'm using dry kibble for my 6 month old beagle/foxhound mix would this still be beneficial? Can you use too much and give too much calcium?
you should check if your dogs calcium levels are low. YES< you can feed too much calcium...
How often should you test? Is there a recommended amount? (I have little ten pounders. A Senior and a one year old. Thank you in advance. Great video!
My dog like this but... it didn't like my dog. She had the run's constantly had to stop giving it to her
thats strange because calcium usually makes the poop harder!
Did you bake it first? Seems that will kill all bacteria.
You cite 200-220 degrees F, right?
yes!
Can I put this on my reptile food???
I don't know about reptiles. I use it for my dogs and me.
Yes
Sir pls help me my 6 month german shephard pastern are down he has cow hock problem give me solution
