They’re very rich and your dog might get runny stools. The people I know that feed eggs feed MAYBE one a week. MAYBE.
If you’re going to go raw, start with something bland and easy, like a chicken leg or a turkey leg or chicken necks. My dog loves her chicken backs, and she’s just getting started.
Dogs’ digestive tracts are shorter than humans’. As long as you don’t touch the dog’s poop with bare hands and then touch your face, you should be fine.

gives details on eggs, nutritional breakdown, and info for and against using eggs
not that i know , but it dose help make the dogs coat(fur)shiny.
I’m not so sure about those foods, but I do know you shouldn’t feed a dog onion or anything that has that sort of acid. You might already know but I’ll tell you anyway, NEVER give dogs anything chocolate.
No. Unlike humans, food stays in the digestive system of dogs for a very short time. Thus they are not exposed to the microbes in raw food long enough to risk illness. I feed my dog raw food every day and she puts the meat all over the floor before eating it, but she hasn’t had any digestive problems with it so far.
I’ve also read that dogs have an enzyme in their saliva that helps to neutralise or get rid of the potential harmful bacteria in raw food, but I can’t give exact details on this point.
However, raw eggs are very rich and should be fed only rarely. Once a week at the most…and your dog might experience some runny stools or constipation as her system gets used to raw food. If you want to start your dog on raw, start with something bland like chicken – my dog started raw with nothing but chicken for two weeks. Raw food should also never be fed together with kibble.
I have been feeding raw eggs to my dogs for years. I do make sure to get good eggs, keep them properly refrigerated until ready to use and I don’t give them one daily, usually twice a week they each get one. They have never had a problem with it.
I do make sure the eggs look and smell right, but with the eggs I buy, I haven’t seen any bad ones yet. (I usually get them brown eggs that are from cage free hens). Not that it has to be this kind, I just buy for them like I would for my kids.
