Who doesn’t love a good deviled egg?  They’re such a treat!  The human version, usually made with mayonnaise, paprika and onions, is not dog friendly.  In fact, paprika and onions are not something that should be served to your dogs. Paprika, while not toxic to dogs, can cause excessive thirst and an upset stomach.  Onions are considered toxic to dogs and can cause various symptoms including upset stomach, lack of coordination and even liver damage in certain quantities. 

These deviled eggs are safe for dogs, yummy and overall just a fun treat to spoil your pups on Easter or a summer picnic, or any other occasion!  If you’re already making a batch of deviled eggs for yourself, why not set aside a couple eggs and whip some up for you dog as well?  These are so fun and cute you might just want to snack on a few yourself too! 

This recipe can easily be doubled.  Feel free to add any other dog safe herbs, or if you wanted to make this extra special you could even add in a bit of dog safe pate!  There are lots of options to make these special and personalize them.  Most of all, have fun and enjoy!  Your dogs certainly will.
