Small amounts of scrambled eggs seasoned with salt and pepper are unlikely to harm your dog, but it's important to monitor them for any unusual symptoms.
- Watch for signs of upset stomach, like vomiting or diarrhea.
- Monitor your dog for any changes in behavior or energy (lethargy).
- Keep an eye on their water consumption as increased thirst may occur.
Salt and pepper, in moderation, are generally safe for dogs, especially in a scenario where only a few seasoned eggs are consumed. However, high amounts of salt can lead to sodium ion poisoning, and excessive pepper can cause gastrointestinal upset. Therefore, while a small amount is not problematic, it's best to avoid feeding your dog any human foods seasoned with these or other spices intentionally.
For specific guidance or if you notice any troubling symptoms, consider reaching out to a veterinary professional. Book a consultation at Dial A Vet.
