Is it okay for dogs to eat raw eggs?

Dogs that eat raw eggs can become infected with parasitic diseases, and then lose weight and have diarrhea. Raw eggs contain a protein called ovalbumin, which can affect the function of the dog’s biotin in the body if the dog consumes too much ovalbumin, resulting in slow growth and hair loss. Occasionally raw eggs will not affect your dog’s health, but if you feed them regularly or in large quantities at once, they will cause weight loss and hair loss. In addition, raw eggs generally contain many microorganisms and bacteria, such as salmonella, and some dogs may experience varying degrees of diarrhea and vomiting once they have eaten raw eggs, and in some cases they may become very ill.
