Are eggs healthy for dogs? Should I cook them? What about shells?

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!

Yes, but it is not good to feed it raw. Raw eggs can carry salmonella bacteria which can make him very sick and he can even die from it. Raw eggs also contain an enzyme that hinders absorption of vitamin B. It is better to feed eggs scrambled or hard boiled.

Eggs are a highly nutritious snack but should not be fed raw regularly as there is avidin in them which binds with biotin, an important vitamin. Whitening the egg with boiling water or cooking is preferred

Absolutely not. Egg whites contain avidine which destroys vitamin H which is crucial for your dog's hair and nail growth. If you are feeding a complete good quality dog food for medium sized dogs you do not need to supplement her food. You would alter the nutritional balance which then would detrimental. Please only feed commercial dog food. Your dog will then be happy and healthy.

Cooked eggs are fine to give to Mike, but I do not recommend giving him raw eggs. They are not safe to give to him. When you make the eggs for him, fully cook them such as hard boiled or scrambled with no added seasonings (that includes salt and pepper). Do not give him the shells. Protein sources include low fat meats such as beef and chicken. I will put a link below to two websites that offer recipes for healthy and balanced homemade diets.

Yes, you can make eggs for Hunter if you want to - they're a fairly good, healthy treat as long as you give them in moderation. You can make them scrambled or fried, just make sure to cook the yolk to avoid any risk of salmonella - just like in humans :)
