Raw eggs are best avoided: shells and yolks can carry Salmonella, Toxoplasma, and roundworms (diarrhea, appetite loss, weight loss; toxoplasma can deform or abort puppies), and raw egg white contains avidin that binds biotin and hurts skin, coat, and nerves. If you must, use sushi-grade eggs and start with a quarter. Also keep chocolate, grapes, onion, alcohol, xylitol, caffeine, salty/sugary food, dairy, and bones off the menu.
