Root Cause

Raw egg whites contain avidin, which binds biotin and can cause deficiency over time; raw eggs also carry Salmonella risk for both dogs and humans.

生蛋清含有抗生物素蛋白，会结合生物素，长期可能导致缺乏；生鸡蛋还携带沙门氏菌风险，对狗和人类都有危害。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Cook eggs thoroughly (scrambled or hard-boiled) before feeding; cooking denatures avidin and kills Salmonella

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Yolk still carries Salmonella risk, and the biotin issue is from the white, but yolk alone doesn't provide the claimed coat benefits

  2. 60% fail

    Pasteurization reduces but does not eliminate Salmonella risk; avidin is still active in pasteurized whites

  3. 75% fail

    Even occasional raw eggs pose Salmonella risk; biotin deficiency is cumulative over weeks
