🐶 Can dogs eat this? →Why
As obligate carnivores, cats do well with the protein in cooked eggs. Serve fully cooked and unseasoned; skip raw egg because of Salmonella risk and the avidin enzyme in raw whites.
If you do share it
A small amount of plain, fully cooked egg occasionally — no butter, oil or salt.
