If your veterinarian gives you permission to feed your dog eggshells, follow their instructions and/or crush the shells into fine pieces to mix into your dog’s food. If your dog eats whole eggshells, contact your veterinarian immediately as large, sharp pieces can cut their mouth and digestive tract. Ask your veterinarian to run a routine blood test to see if your dog has a calcium deficiency. When the test is complete, they’ll be able to advise you on what and how many supplements to give your dog. [12] X Research source
