Eggs appear in nearly every meal of our daily life; boiled eggs for breakfast, tomato scrambled eggs for lunch, and egg soup for dinner. This shows that eggs are quite beneficial to our health. Pet dogs’ food also requires our attention. Besides dog food, dogs can eat some human foods to some extent. So, can dogs eat the nutritious egg? Let’s explore together!

Eggs are safe for dogs to eat, but it is necessary to ensure the eggs are cooked. Humans usually eat cooked eggs in daily life; only some unusual people eat raw eggs, and dogs should not eat raw eggs either. When hens hatch eggs, there can be bacteria inside the egg. These bacteria need to be killed by cooking or frying the egg before it is safe for us or dogs to eat. Dogs with certain skin diseases should not eat eggs, as eggs may trigger or worsen these conditions.

If some owners do not know what to feed their dogs, I suggest only feeding dog food, as it is a foolproof and beneficial option. Dog food not only fills the dog’s stomach but also contains many nutritional elements. The chocolate we usually eat cannot be given to dogs because the theobromine in it is deadly to dogs and affects their heart. The strong tea and coffee we like to drink should also be kept away from dogs, as these beverages reduce blood flow to their brains.

Besides food, vegetables and fruits can be given to dogs in moderation, but some are strictly forbidden. Grapes and dried raisins must not be given to dogs because grape seeds can affect their kidney function. Some fruit seeds should also be removed before feeding to dogs. Mushroom foods are fungal by nature, so if the selection is poor, they may contain certain toxins that can harm dog organs.
