Can dogs eat cooked egg whites?

Dogs can eat cooked egg whites, which are egg whites. Egg white contains high-quality protein that is easily absorbed and utilized by the dog's body, which can effectively supplement the protein content the dog needs daily. However, it is not recommended to eat too much. There is a kind of avidin in egg white, which will affect the dog's absorption of vitamin H, thereby affecting the dog's growth and development.

Things to note when giving eggs to dogs:

1. Feed them in moderation. The frequency of feeding should be controlled and not too frequent. Excessive eating will also affect the health of the dog.

2. Avoid eating it raw. Raw eggs contain avidin, which can affect your dog’s absorption of biotin. Boil the eggs so your dog can better absorb nutrients.

3. Eat less protein. Egg white contains avidin, which can destroy vitamin H in dogs. Dogs who eat too much may suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort and other phenomena.

4. Do not add salt. If dogs eat too much salt, their eye feces will increase and tear stains will easily occur.

5. Eat according to your physical condition. It is not recommended for dogs with fragile stomachs, constipation, obesity, and dogs with skin diseases, as it may aggravate the problem.
