It is also a good source of Omega 6 fatty acids that are good for the skin and coat, and has essential amino acids and glucosamine for healthy bones. Big plus? It’s tasty!

Allergies
Chicken tends to be one of the common allergies in dogs. Whether your dog loves to eat chicken is irrelevant. One may think it is natural that if a dog is allergic to chicken, they would be allergic to chicken eggs. Dogs can be allergic to chicken but not necessarily allergic to eggs. Allergies can develop over a period of time, but the proteins that are found in chicken which causes the allergies in dogs are not present in eggs. Allergies tend to be very specific to the proteins that cause them. So if your dog is allergic to chicken, they are likely able to eat eggs.
