โœ… Safe. Excellent protein source. Cooked eggs are safe and nutritious.

Why?

Cooked eggs are a fantastic source of protein, riboflavin, and selenium. They are highly digestible and many dogs find them delicious. Some vets recommend egg as a food supplement.

How much can dogs have?

One egg several times per week for medium to large dogs. Less for small breeds.

What to watch out for

Always fully cooked โ€” scrambled or hard boiled, no seasoning. Raw eggs carry salmonella risk and contain avidin which blocks biotin absorption over time.
