I use a large ice cream scoop (1/2 cup) to scoop portions on a cookie sheet then put into freezer. Once froze, remove from cookie sheet and put into ziplock freezer bags. Twice a week I remove enough balls from the freezer and put in the fridge to feed 1 ball x2 day. (Small dog 1/4 scoop x2 day- larger dog 1/2 cup x 2 day. Shepherd size 1 cup x2 day. Feed more or less according to your dogs need. You can add oil for added fat.

Regular Posts: 63 Location: WI	For dogs, egg shells are an excellent source of calcium. I have a couple older dogs on the recipe I posted above and also use it to boost body condition on the ones we show. You can add whatever supplement you want but with fido vite you shouldn't really have to. The shells can be ground up into a powder or you can buy egg shell powder. I always boil my eggs as I worry about salmonella poisoning. You could use pasteurized eggs though. I would guess the nutrition value would be better than boiling them.
