Eggs

Question
I have two labs.  One morning my hard boiled egg rolled off the counter and they had a lovely time getting into it and eating the whole thing, shell and all.  Now every time I get a hard boiled egg out of the frig, they want it.

Will it hurt to give them an egg now and then?

Look forward to hearing from you.


Answer
Actually, eggs are very good for dogs as an occasional treat or supplement now and then. But use caution -- like us, too many eggs will overdo it. On the whole, however, eggs are perfectly fine to give to dogs, so long as there isn't excessive salt, pepper, or any other seasoning or additive on it.

Hope this helps!
