Dogs are not predisposed to heart disease like people, so we don’t worry about their cholesterol. Eggs are good for dogs as they provide an excellent source of fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and protein. Essentially the entire egg, including the eggshell, can be nutritious for dogs. Each part of a cooked egg offers health benefits for dogs: the egg yolk, eggshell, and egg white. The average egg contains 60 calories and has roughly 6 grams of protein and 4 milligrams of fat. To figure out how much to feed your dog, you should talk with your veterinarian. The appropriate serving size of eggs as treats for your dog will depend on a variety of factors, including: Size Age Activity level Existing health issues. The safest way to feed eggs to your dog is to hard boil them and chop them up.

Eggs are high in protein and contain many essential fatty acids and essential amino acids. This makes them a yummy — and healthy — snack when cooked or boiled. High salt intake may aggravate heart disease in dogs. When preparing eggs for your dog, you'll want to think about simplicity and safety. Unlike in your own breakfast, your dog's eggs should be prepared without any of the additives we use to bolster taste, such as oil, salt and butter. Fats like oil and butter can contribute to weight gain, which puts your dog at risk of obesity-related health issues such as diabetes and osteoarthritis. When properly cooked and served in moderation, eggs can be an excellent addition to your dog's meal plan. Before you start adding eggs to your dog's meal plan, ask your veterinarian how you can safely introduce them to your dog's feeding.
