However, egg yolks are high in cholesterol and calories, so they should only be given occasionally to avoid unwanted weight gain or other health issues.

Benefits

Risks

Egg yolks are high in calories, and they contain a high level of cholesterol. Too much cholesterol can cause health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and pancreatitis in dogs, hence excessive consumption must be avoided.
Raw egg yolks can be contaminated with salmonella. Dogs are mostly resistant to salmonella. However, a dog with a weak immune system or existing digestive issues could be more susceptible to the infection.
