‘’Will raw eggs give my dog a biotin deficiency?"
Great question! And yes, it could, but the answer is a bit more nuanced.

Avidin is a glycoprotein and is made up around 0.05% of the total protein content of egg white. And it loves to bind to biotin, making it unavailable for intestinal absorption.

So yes, technically, it’s a concern. But this is only when egg whites are exclusively fed in large amounts for an extended time. If egg whites were exclusively fed, it might be a concern. But as we are usually feeding the whole egg plus other sources of biotin, it is safe to feed as long as egg whites are not the mainstay of the diet.

I hope you learn something new today & Always Keep Exploring!
