When it comes to enhancing your dog’s diet, superfoods like eggs are the real hero. Packed with essential nutrients and loved by dogs, eggs aren’t just a breakfast staple—they’re a nutritional powerhouse for your furry friend. And here’s the kicker: even the eggshells can benefit your pup. Let’s crack into the details!
Why Eggs Are an Eggcellent Choice for Dogs
Eggs are more than just a protein source; they’re loaded with nutrients that promote overall health. Here’s why they deserve a spot in your dog’s diet:
- Rich in High-Quality Protein: Essential for muscle growth and repair.
- Packed with Vitamins: Eggs are brimming with Vitamin A, B12, and riboflavin, all of which contribute to your dog’s overall vitality.
- Full of Minerals: Selenium and iron support a healthy immune system and energy levels.
The Surprising Benefits of Eggshells
Don’t toss those eggshells just yet! They’re a natural source of calcium, which is crucial for maintaining strong bones, healthy teeth, and even proper nerve function.
Feeding eggshells directly can be messy and inconsistent. Some dogs may not like eating Eggshells straight off the bat (read: Fergus definitely didn’t) and so we dried it and then crushed it into a powder. Sprinkled on his dinner bowl, he didn’t even realize it was there.
This is how our Eggshellent was born.
