Benefits of the goose egg
This food provides interesting nutritional benefits. It is a good source of proteins and contains fat-soluble vitamins.
Preparation and allowed parts
It is essential that the goose egg is well cooked. Dogs can safely eat the cooked white and the cooked yolk. Cooking is a crucial step because it secures both the white and the yolk. On the other hand, you should never feed the whole uncrushed shell to your dog.
