How many eggs.......

...is it safe to feed my dog in a week?

He absolutely loves boiled and scrambled eggs but I worry about the quantity which is safe for him.


Thanks

I was told a while back that raw egg white wasnt good for dogs but I can't for the life of me remember why.

Has anyone heard this?

My lot get 2 raw eggs a week, including shells as part of thier diet.

Vase, I haven't heard that. Eggs are high in protien so I would of thought they'd be good for dogs

raw eggs are only a problem if just egg whites are fed, which contain avidin, a protein which destroys the B vitamin biotin. Yolks contain biotin to make up for what the whites destroy.
That's what I remember anyway
Mine all enjoy raw eggs including the shells and will even line up when we break an egg for cooking, just to have the shell
