I give my dogs raw eggs and it's never been a problem. But I don't let
them lick my face and I make sure to wash my hands afterwards.

And to the other respondents, chocolate is a big no-no for dogs. It's
the theobromine content. Cooking chocolate is the most dangerous (I
keep mine in the back of the freezer to minimize risk of theft),
followed by semi-sweet, then milk chocolate. I think that the lethal
dose of so-called "white chocolate" is something like 350 lbs, and it
must be hoisted up and dropped onto the dog from a height of at least
three stories.

Onions are bad news because they can cause acute hemolytic anemia. The
risk is greater with small dogs, or large amounts of onions.

Grapes and raisins can cause renal failure. Most of the fatalities
involve labs - notorious gluttons - who managed to access mass
quantities of grapes, or giant boxes of raisins. A grape or two given
to or stolen by even a small dog is no cause for panic.

But if you're not sure, *always* call your vet.
