Dog-Friendly Deviled Eggs Recipe

Friday, June 07, 2024
By The Nom Nom Team

Juicy burgers. Sweet corn. Creamy potato salad. All of them essential summer cookout foods — but can we get some love for deviled eggs? While rarely as celebrated as, say, steak, we do a bit of a happy dance whenever we spot them as part of a blowout BBQ spread. And with a bit of dog-friendly finessing, your pup will be doing the two-step (four-step?) too.

After all, when offered in moderation, eggs are a healthy source of protein for dogs. Mayo may be off the table (way too high in fat), but probiotic-rich yogurt is the perfect alternative mix-in. This recipe also makes use of fresh herbs from the garden; try a little taste of mint, basil or parsley, which can help support digestion and fresh breath in dogs. 

The pièce de résistance? A savory jerky garnish. Nom Nom’s Beef or Chicken Jerky Strips are high in protein, filler-free, and a fun way to add flair to these seasonal, dog-approved treats.
