Can dogs eat Egg?
Yes — fully cooked eggs are a nutritious treat.
📋What to know
Cooked eggs are a great source of protein and amino acids for dogs. Serve them fully cooked and plain — no butter, oil, or salt. Avoid raw eggs, which carry a salmonella risk and contain avidin that can interfere with biotin absorption over time.
🍽️How to serve it
A little scrambled or boiled plain egg, sized to your dog. An occasional treat, not a meal replacement.
⚖️Safe serving size
❓Frequently asked questions
Can dogs eat eggshells?
Ground eggshell is sometimes used as a calcium supplement, but it should only be given on a vet's advice and can be sharp if not finely ground. It's safest to skip shells unless your vet recommends them.
