Would it be a good idea to give my pet raw eggs?

Eggs are an excellent source of protein for dogs and cats. When they lived were wild animals, they would always eat raw eggs and take eggs from nests.

If our pets eat one or two raw eggs a week, they would be eating about 6 grams of protein, 75 calories and 13 nutrients. Eggs prevent various diseases because they contain Vitamin B12, Vitamin B and Iron. They also contain Selenium and fatty acids to help prevent health problems like muscular degeneration and heart complications due to age. The advantages of eating raw eggs are: repairs in muscular tissue and decreased shedding.

Are there any drawbacks when pets eat raw eggs?

Some of the fears about giving raw eggs to our pets come from the notion of becoming deficient in Biotin. This deficiency can occur by avoiding food that contains egg whites since it interferes with their body's ability to absorb Biotin. However, there are people that claim that egg yolk has a higher content of Biotin.

We believe that there is a possibility of being Biotin deficient if your pets only eat the white part of an egg for an extended period of time. However, we are also concerned the possibility that your pet can acquire Salmonella. Therefore, we recommend that your pets only eat organic eggs to avoid Salmonella.

We would also like to inform you that egg shells contain Calcium. Therefore, you can crush egg shells and mix them in your pet's meal.
