Eggs

Complete in protein, they contain lecithin, choline and many of the B complex vitamins, vitamin E, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium.  Egg yolk is high in vitamin A.  Lecithin and choline help to break down low-density lipoproteins the ‘bad’ part of cholesterol, and help clean out the arteries.  Eggs contain the sulfur amino acids cysteine, cystine and methionine, needed for cell and tissue regeneration. Use eggs whole, including the shell, which is a pure form of calcium. Puppies going through growth spurts often need extra calcium in their diets as do some older dogs.  When needed by the dog, the eggshell will be totally digested and not visible in the stool. This is normal. Eggs should be cooked for four to five minutes in boiling water to kill any bacteria on the shell. Cooking them longer decreases protein content, and you will notice a dark ring around the yolk of the egg.  The dark ring is dead protein.  Brown eggs are better than white eggs since brown shells appear to absorb less bacteria than white shells.  If you have a source of organic, clean eggs, it is fine to feed them raw.
