Default RE: Labrador Coat

NO RAW EGGS !!! never give raw eggs to any mammal. Egg white (albumin) can only be digested if it's coagulated. There are only 2 ways to coagulate albumin - one is by cooking, the other is by the animal using HUGE amounts of a nutrient called Biotin. If you give your dog raw eggs, they can quite easily become Biotin deficient (not a good thing).

IMO, Atta Boy is junk (the bag has more nutrition than the contents). You need a good premium grade dog food. If your dog works hard (trains and hunts a lot) it neds 30% protein and 20% fat. If your dog is "average" in physical exertion, a 26%/16% should be alright.

Best three brands (in order) Eagle Pack, Diamond or Black Gold.
