Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (detailed introduction)

        Eggs are rich in protein and other nutrients, making them a rare good food for dogs. However, the feeding method must be correct, otherwise it will not only fail to supplement nutrition but may also harm their health. So let's learn how to correctly feed eggs to dogs.

        Dogs should eat cooked eggs, as raw eggs contain more bacteria and microorganisms than cooked ones. Heating can kill many harmful bacteria and microorganisms, while raw eggs, though original and all-natural, may cause vomiting, diarrhea, and other digestive system problems due to numerous harmful factors.

        Raw eggs contain substances that counteract vitamin H (biotin). Biotin, also called vitamin H, is a water-soluble vitamin belonging to the B-vitamin group, involved in the metabolism of fatty acids and carbohydrates; promotes protein synthesis; and participates in the metabolism of vitamin B12, folic acid, and pantothenic acid; also promotes urea synthesis and excretion. Raw eggs contain an anti-biotin protein, which can bind biotin to form a stable, inactive complex, seriously affecting the absorption of biotin. This anti-biotin protein is heat-sensitive, and heating can greatly reduce its activity. Therefore, cooked eggs contain much less anti-biotin protein than raw eggs, making cooked eggs more nutritious for dogs from this perspective.

        Therefore, when feeding eggs to dogs, they should be cooked first. Do not let them eat raw eggs, or it may cause diarrhea and vomiting, which is contrary to our original intention.
