Is it healthy to cook eggs for my dog?

JillA asked:
Every morning, after I make my breakfast, I scramble two eggs in a non stick pan (no seasonings, oil, or butter) for my dog. He loves it. Is this healthy? He doesn’t eat table scraps otherwise. This is the ONLY people food he gets (unless he is naughty!).
What I meant by (except when he’s naughty) is that there has been a time or two when he has snuck in some people food… I didn’t give it to him, hence, he was naughty. I didn’t mean that I deprive him of food when he’s bad. Just wanted to clarify!
Love the answer about the German Shepherd. My dog is a 6 month old German Shepherd named DAX. He is almost 70 lbs now. Best dog in the world.

The eggs are OK, cooked or uncooked. And people food is OK if the people have a healthy diet (the exception being dairy – dogs should be given low fat dairy products).

Actually eggs are really good for dogs. Especially the white part of the egg it helps keep their coat shiny so keep on giving them to him.

i think its great…i used to give my cat one raw egg a day…i would beat it then just let her lap it up…i got the idea from my grandmother who had a german shepherd named Senta when she lived in germany (my grandma immigrated here)
and i plan on carrying on that with my german shepherd….who i’ve called Senta in memory of them both…she said that one raw egg a day is healthy for a dog’s coat…and she was right!!
when i fed my cat the egg…people who’d never petted her before would ALWAYS comment on how soft she was

Eggs are fine for them. My Gracy gets boiled eggs that she likes About 1-2 times a week.. Some people food is okay for dogs. Carrots are really good for them and so are apples. Of course in moderation. Gracy is a basset hound and she loves fruits and vegetables. One of her favorites is tomatoes. Just a little bit but when we first got her she would pick her own outside. She loves her vegetables.
But back to the eggs, yes they are okay for the dog and helps give them a nice smooth and shiny coat

We raise chickens so we always have an abudance of eggs. We always cook eggs for our dogs on the weekends when we make eggs for ourselves. They love it! I’ve always heard a raw egg is good for their coats, but we just cook ours for our dogs.
