Can Dogs Eat Eggs?
Safe✅ Generally safe for dogs
Yes — cooked eggs are an excellent protein treat for dogs. Raw eggs carry salmonella risk and, long-term, a biotin issue.
A plain cooked egg is one of the most nutritious human foods you can share: complete protein, riboflavin, and selenium. Serve them scrambled or boiled without butter, salt, or onion/garlic seasoning. Raw eggs are debated — the salmonella risk is real for both dog and household, and raw whites contain avidin, which blocks biotin absorption if fed routinely.
How to serve it safely
One plain cooked egg a few times a week suits most medium dogs. Skip the seasoning.
