What happens if a Labrador eats too many egg yolks?

Eating too many egg yolks can cause digestive upset in a Labrador, because yolks are high in fat and protein; a one-time overload can lead to stomach discomfort, diarrhea, and bloating.

Egg yolks are also rich in fat and cholesterol, so long-term heavy feeding can cause obesity, high cholesterol, and abnormal blood lipids, raising the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Generally, an adult Labrador can have 3–4 cooked egg yolks per week, 1–2 at a time. Puppies usually have more sensitive stomachs and weaker digestion, so 1–2 times per week, half to one yolk each time, is enough.
