Eggs are one of the most complete protein sources available — rich in highly digestible protein, essential amino acids, vitamin A, B vitamins, and fatty acids that support skin and coat. A cooked egg makes a nutritious occasional treat or food topper.
Cook eggs before serving (plain scrambled or boiled, with no oil, butter, or salt). Cooking eliminates the small risk of salmonella and avoids avidin, a protein in raw egg whites that can interfere with biotin absorption if fed raw in large amounts over time. Eggs are calorie- and protein-dense, so serve in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
