Yes, dogs can safely eat eggs

Every dog is different. Individual allergies and sensitivities are common — always introduce new foods in small amounts and watch for adverse reactions. This site is for informational purposes only and is not veterinary advice. Always consult your vet.

The Full Picture

Fully cooked eggs (scrambled, boiled, or poached without oil or seasoning) are an excellent source of protein, fatty acids, and vitamins for dogs. They can help settle an upset stomach and are often used as a nutritional supplement. Avoid raw eggs due to the risk of Salmonella and because raw egg whites contain avidin, which can interfere with biotin absorption. Do not add salt, butter, or other seasonings.

What You Should Know

Eggs is generally considered safe for dogs to eat. As with any treat, moderation is key — it should complement a balanced diet rather than replace regular dog food. If your dog has never tried eggs before, start with a small portion and keep an eye out for any unusual reactions.
