Raw eggs? Cooked eggs?

So I read online a while a go that raw eggs are good for dogs, as it contains a lot of protaines for the dog, but today I was searching online and I seen people saying that raw eggs aren't good, they said you had to cook it? But there's more people saying raw eggs are better?

Raw eggs are fine as long as they're fresh.

You can cook them as well, but you don't need to.

I give raw eggs about 4 times a week, very good for the skin and coat

Not tried Miley with raw eggs yet. It will be interesting to see what happens

Bis has raw eggs mixed into her tripe a few times a week and loves them If you give them on their own though or still in the shell she turns her nose up

Pixee gets a raw egg now and then and loves it.

Moo gets raw egg every so often, mixed into her kibble Xx

I normally feed Dragon in the morning at like 10, then after a while at like 2 in the afternoon I give him a raw egg on it's own and then at 5 feed again.

He eats, or should I say drinks the raw egg on it's own without a problem.

Raw eggs are fine for a dog to eat, its great for the condition of their coat.

Raw is best but not to often as they inhibit the digestion of nutrients in normal food. I give both as a treat as they like rolling cooked about but love slurping on raw. Any egg with a lion mark is safe to eat raw for humans let alone dogs.

Steffi loves raw eggs shell and all.. She rolls it around and plays with it for a few mins then chomps it

actually if they eat the white and yolk it nutritionally balanced and so can be fed as often as you want!

yer that missed out the fact the yolk counteracts the whites and therefore fine to feed in larger quantities....

So it's okay for them to eat the shell too? I'll have to see what Loki thinks of it

yep the shell is fine to eat

We gave Sophie a raw egg last year.
It was out in the garden, after patting it with her paw for a while she gently picked it up in her mouth and
ran straight indoors with it and cracked it open in the middle of the carpet in the living room before eating it.

The thing to remember with eggs is that the yolk contains a lot of cholestorol, so too many isn't a good idea. Two or three a week is fine.

I give Zeus a raw egg twice a week in his food, with shell. I also give him a bit of cooked egg too whenever I cook it for myself and have had no problems.

So what would happen if I gave him an egg everyday? What's the risk of doing it?

The only real risk would be that he'd get large cholesterol deposits!

there is no risk, i know people who give a number of eggs solely as a meal, they are quite fatty so as long as they have a good varied diet and exercise then it's fine

Thank you, Dragon eats an egg pretty much everyday but without the shell.
He loves eggs lol

A whole raw medium egg has 62 kcals. A 20 kg dog with moderate daily activity requires anything from 1000 to 1300 kcals per day so I think giving him an egg a day won't make him fat! Most cans of dog food are around 370 kcals as a comparison.
