Can dogs eat raw eggs2007-11-25 2:59:58Answers:

To all the people who keep saying that raw eggs make a dog's coat shiny, that is a myth..an old wives' tale..a total falsehood. It has never been true, despite being constantly passed around as 'true.'

Raw eggs actually contain a substance that makes a dog's coat more DULL, not shiny. It causes a biotin deficiency in them. This is WELL KNOWN among people who have an education in animal nutritional physiology and biochemistry. If you don't, I'm not sure why you'd even answer a question you're not qualified to. :-/

(Just FYI: cooking eggs destroys that substance, so it's no longer an issue..but you really shouldn't feed dogs cooked eggs for other reasons, unless you have been specifically directed to do so by your veterinarian.)

Dogs can and do get Salmonella poisoning from raw eggs as well.

all eggs are same. So you can even give snake's eggs, with out any problem.

If people can get sick from raw eggs don't you think dogs can too.

---

yes, and its good for them too

Yes, but they shouldn't be fed raw to dogs for the same reason people don't eat them raw. Eggs may have salmonella which makes us very sick.
