Prepared eggs are an excellent treat for dogs since they are high in protein and include various necessary amino and fatty acids. To avoid overfeeding your dog, consult your veterinarian about how many you can make. It's OK if your pet eats a raw bird egg found in the garden on occasion, but don't make this a regular meal. Contact your local veterinarian if your dog's condition worsens.
