Can Dogs Eat Eggs?
Verdict
Safe in moderation
Why it is safe
Eggs are a complete protein with all essential amino acids, plus choline, vitamin A, and B-vitamins. Scrambled, boiled or poached without butter, oil, or salt is ideal. Raw eggs carry a small salmonella risk and contain avidin, which binds biotin — occasional raw eggs are fine for healthy adults, but cooked is safer and biotin-neutral.
Safe portion
Half a small egg a few times a week for a medium dog; adjust to daily calorie needs.
Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian or a pet poison helpline immediately. This page is editorial guidance, not emergency advice for an individual animal.
