My dog ate a boiled egg. What should I do? Can dogs eat eggs?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If he tolerated it well, this may be ok, However, this should only be used to supplement his regular diet more as a snack to be given every once in a while as opposed to using it mainly as a complete diet. He is also super handsome! Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You could do it perhaps a few times a week but without the shell. I would avoid doing it longterm on a daily basis as it does contain a large amount of cholesterol. Good luck!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Eggs are very healthy for dogs (and humans). The yolk is fatty however, so you need to watch how many calories of dog food you are feeding so Peanut doesn’t become overweight. Also, if you are feeding a high quality dog food (like Hills, Purina One, Royal Canin, or Iams) you shouldn’t need to add eggs. Good luck and kisses to Peanut!

Eggs are a great food but sometimes do not agree with dogs. I would recommend taking him to a veterinarian to be evaluated. He may have something simple going on, like an intestinal upset but he also could have something more like pancreatitis. Your veterinarian can treat for either and make him feel much better.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I would not be concerned at all by this. As long as your dog is acting normally and not showing any signs of gastrointestinal upset (vomiting/diarrhea), I would not be worried. I hope this is helpful!

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Norik. Some puppies and dogs are extremely sensitive to any changes in their diet. Some will tolerate and others will react like this. The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) does NOT support the use of raw foods for pets. If you want to feed him some eggs or egg yolks, I would lightly cook them and see if he can keep them down. Start with small amounts added to his regular food. Eggs and yolks are great protein and fat sources. Good luck
