Can dogs eat Eggs?
Quick Answer:
Plain, cooked eggs are generally safe and provide a wonderful source of digestible protein for dogs.
Why it matters:
Cooked eggs are highly nutritious, containing essential amino acids and fatty acids. However, raw eggs should be avoided due to the risk of Salmonella infection and avidin, a protein in raw egg whites that interferes with biotin absorption.
What to check on the label:
- •Added salt, pepper, butter, or oils
- •Raw egg whites or raw eggs in batters
- •Onions or garlic mixed into scrambled eggs
Symptoms to watch for:
- •Mild stomach upset (if introduced too quickly)
- •Symptoms of Salmonella (fever, lethargy, vomiting, watery diarrhea - if raw eggs consumed)
When to contact a veterinarian:
Call a vet if your dog ate raw eggs and is displaying signs of food poisoning, or if cooked eggs contained toxic additives like onions.
