Can Dogs Eat Eggs?
4. Cooked Only
While it is fine to give eggs to your dog, make sure that the egg is cooked first. One reason for this is the risk of salmonella poisoning, something that humans also need to be careful about. Another reason for cooking eggs is that your dog may develop a biotin deficiency. Biotin, which is also known as vitamin H, is responsible for aiding in various bodily functions including digestion, and keeping cells healthy.
Uncooked eggs contain compounds that prevent the vitamin being absorbed by the body, hence leading to a deficiency. Symptoms of a biotin deficiency in dogs include loss of appetite, insomnia, dry eyes, brittle hair, red rashes on the skin, and fatigue.
