Can Dogs Eat Eggs?
Yes — cooked
Yes. Cooked eggs — scrambled, boiled or poached with no butter, oil or seasoning — are a nutritious treat. Raw eggs carry a risk of Salmonella for both dogs and the people handling them.
How much
Roughly one egg a few times a week for a medium dog, counted within their daily calories. Small dogs: a portion of an egg.
Watch out for
- Raw eggs (bacteria risk)
- Eggs cooked with onion, garlic, butter or salt
- Egg allergy — itching or stomach upset after eating
