Nonstick pan — no salt, butter, oil, milk, or cheese

Estimates use rough USDA-style values for plain foods and will vary by brand. Put your piece calories into the dog calorie calculator and keep snacks near 10% of daily calories (WSAVA / AAHA guidance).

Storage

Refrigerate in a covered box and use within 24 hours. Do not leave at room temperature.

Dogs vs cats

Dogs and cats: plain cooked egg crumbs can work for both in tiny amounts. Cats need even smaller pieces. Skip if your vet has restricted eggs.
