Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Raw items especially raw eggs are not recommended for dogs as they can develop infections from that especially Salmonella. If Snow likes eggs, you can cook it before giving it to her. Good luck and have a great night!

    Raw eggs are not recommended as they carry the risk of salmonella infection. Rock can eat a hardboiled or scrambled egg, with or without the shell, once or twice a week. If you feed eggs with the shell, make sure it is ground finely first.
