    certain fruits and veggies are not ok. but i know for a fact that CARROTS ARE OK! and cereal such as cheerios, kix, trix. NO CHOCOLATE! i wouldnt give the dog fruits with a lot of citruis (like kiwi, etc..) bananas are ok. green beans = OK

    boiled eggs i dont know about. i wouldnt... they might make her gassy or give her cramps or something. CORN=OK

    CUCUMBER=OK. i wouldnt give her an orange.. probably too much citrus.

    *give these in moderation.

    my dog eats 1/4 c of plain cheerios every morning. i asked my vet and she approved (sometimes kix or trix).

    Maybe with puppies there may be some restrictions but with my two adult beagles we have not had any problems with fresh foods.

    My dogs get fresh fruit and vegetables all the time. Never seems to bother them unless we give them too much of something that has high fiber content. We give them both cooked and un-cooked vegatbles. Hard boiled eggs shell and all. And have even started doing a raw diet, chicken or turkey necks, ground turkey. Plenty of info on the net about raw diet.

    The stuff that goes into most dog food is junk and bad for your dog.

    We even stopped buying dog biscuits and now use baby carrot sticks instead.

    I would stay away from anything that contains corn or wheat products. I have read that neither of those are good for dogs.

    Feed your puppy PUPPY FOOD!

    Like something decent like Orijen or Bil-Jac. If you can't find that, at least get IAMS Puppy food.

    As for an egg, if you chop it up, you can feed your puppy some of it. Unless your puppy is a Great Dane or St. Bernard or some large dog, don't feed it the entire egg. A bit of yolk and white would be fine.

    Don't feed your dog citrus fruit or corn or cucumbers. Puppies have sensitive digestive tracts and they are just starting out. So don't do anything as stupid and idiotic as trying to feed people food to a puppy. Dogs don't digest corn and you could possibly harm the dog if you feed it corn.

    USE YOUR COMMON sense, if you have any. Otherwise, feed the dog puppy food. If you you don't see the reason in that, you don't need a dog.

    A boiled egg every week would be great for her - not much more than that though. Oranges are too acidic, if your dog likes cucumbers, she could have a bite or 2. Corn is too hard for dogs to digest, don't give her that. That's why you shouldn't feed a dog food with any kind of corn in it. Instead try offering her carrots or green beans, or squash.

    The egg yolk contains cholesterol and the mayo is mostly fat. Salt isn't good for you either. 1 Egg = 213 mg of cholesterol American Heart Association suggests eating less than 200 mg of cholesterol per day because the liver also produces cholesterol. I would say 7 eggs in one day is excessive and not healthy.

    I think the corn is ok, and the egg white. The egg white can be mixed with white rice if she has a tempermental stomach and still give her some nutrtion while the natural flora restores. The yolk may have too high an iron content to be good for her. The cucmber would cause a bit of distress and the orange may be too acidic for her to handle.

    Vaughn is right about chocolate. It contains THEOBROMINE in it and dogs lack the ability to break it down. It may be that you could get away with feeding it to her once in a while, but it 'builds up' in the system creating a poison in their system.

    As long as the egg is cooked,dogs can eat white and yolk.The only risk is a gassy dog.Dogs can eat any of the other foods listed but be sure it is a balanced diet,not too much starch also pups tend to have more diarrhea issues so small amounts of fruits and vegs,

  • 1 decade ago

    dogs and puppies can handle all types of eggs except for fried eggs, and other types where the yolk is not firm. However, you should not give your puppy or a dog an orange, cucumber, or corn: because all of these will result in bad cramps for your dog and diarrhea.

    I cut up boiled eggs in my dogs hard food sometimes. It is good for their coat. Just not too much. Maybe some cheese too. But not very much. Just like 5 - 10 pieces of shredded cheese.

    my dogs LOVE eggs...scrambled are their faves, but a boiled egg wouldn't be any different. besides, eggs are good for their coats, and so is milk. they love to drink milk too. i am not sure about oranges, but my dogs also go crazy over a cucumber slice...the vet said that's good and healthy for them. i give mine corn kernels from time to time, but they don't seem to get too excited about corn, so i guess you're on your own with that. but you might want to check with your vet just to be safe since so many things are bad or fatal to dogs.
