Safe
Can dogs eat eggs?
Cooked plain eggs are a simple, well-tolerated protein.
Why
Fully cooked eggs are a digestible protein source many dogs enjoy. Cooking removes the risk associated with raw egg, including bacterial contamination.
Portion guidance
A fraction of an egg for a small dog, up to one egg a few times a week for a large dog, counted within treat allowance.
Preparation
Scramble or boil with no oil, butter, salt or seasoning. Let it cool before serving.
Important warnings
Avoid raw egg. Egg is a common ingredient in homemade treats — factor the extra calories into meals.
