I've HEARD before that raw eggs are not good for yorkies and don't let mine have any - We used to think raw egg is good for their coat but I just did a search and found this information:
It is unwise to feed your dog raw eggs. These contain salmonella. This parasite is dangerous to both pet and owner. Feed your dog eggs cooked in any style. Be wary of undercooked eggs as raw egg whites have an enzyme which kills biotin in your dog. Biotin shortage will cause skin and hair coat problems. The dog's skin becomes inflamed and its hair drops.
a little scrambled is probably ok - I do know from personal experience that hardboiled eggs can set off a nuclear blast after feeding some to my girls last year...Talk about clearing a room -
THEY even left when they smelled it whew !
