Nowadays, many pet owners want to feed their dogs nutritious and delicious complementary foods to make their dogs more balanced, such as egg yolks, but they must be careful about feeding, otherwise you will be making fun of their lives. So the question is, what will happen if a dog eats too much egg yolk? Let’s find out together.
1. Cause gastrointestinal discomfort
If the dog is still relatively young, especially 2 or 3-month-old puppies, their gastrointestinal development is not complete. If they eat too much egg yolk, it will easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort, causing soft stools, vomiting, diarrhea and other abnormalities. Therefore, it is recommended that younger dogs should be fed pet goat milk powder.
2. Burden on the liver and gallbladder
Although egg yolks are rich in protein and lecithin, they are also rich in cholesterol. Feeding too much will cause the cholesterol content in the dog's body to increase, which will put a burden on the liver and gallbladder, causing the dog to suffer from pancreatitis, diabetes or other cardiovascular diseases.
3. Leading to obesity
Frequent feeding of egg yolks to dogs will cause overnutrition in dogs, which will lead to obesity in dogs, affect their daily activities, and even increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, especially in older dogs.
4. Picky eaters
If your dog eats egg yolks every day, it may cause severe picky eating, that is, it does not like to eat dog food. Over time, the dog will suffer from malnutrition and become emaciated.
Note: If you find that your dog has abnormal mental state and appetite after feeding egg yolks, it is recommended to take your dog to the pet hospital for examination in time.
