Quick Answer: Yes — cooked eggs are safe, nutritious, and high-value for dogs. They're an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Scrambled, boiled, or poached — all fine. Feed raw eggs occasionally with caution: raw egg whites contain avidin which interferes with biotin (vitamin B7) absorption when fed regularly. The yolk is fine raw. Cooked eggs have no avidin concern.
