Quick answer: Yes! Cooked eggs are a safe, protein-rich treat that most dogs love.
Eggs are a little powerhouse of nutrition for dogs — high-quality protein, amino acids and fatty acids, all in one affordable package.
Cook them first
Cooked (boiled or plainly scrambled, no butter, oil, salt or seasoning) is the way to go. Raw eggs carry a small risk of Salmonella and, over time, a biotin-absorption issue from the whites.
Why eggs are great
They’re one of the most complete proteins available and very digestible — a nice occasional topper or treat, and a binding star in homemade biscuits.
How much
A little goes a long way: part of an egg for small dogs, up to one for larger dogs, as an occasional treat within the daily allowance.
