While raw eggs are not recommended to feed to dogs because of the high risk of salmonella contamination, eggshells are a great source of calcium for your pets. Calcium is needed for normal growth, strong bones, teeth, and claws, as well as optimum muscle contraction. Using raw meaty bones as a calcium source is the most common way to provide calcium to your pets. Raw bones can usually be fed whole. Although, some people who prefer to feed ground up bones find it hard to get a hold of the equipment needed to grind the bones for homemade raw meat diets.
