Eggs have similar benefits for dogs as they do for humans. However, eggs should be considered a supplement and not your dog's entire meal. Let’s look at three of the main advantages they have for your fur baby.
Fatty Acids
Fatty acids, saturated and unsaturated, are in egg yolk. They help build and maintain body cells. The fatty acids break down fat and allow vitamins in.
Vitamins
Vitamins build a dog’s immune system, regulate their metabolism, and help them grow. Therefore, they’re essential to a canine’s diet. The following concentrated vitamins are in egg yolk: vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, riboflavin, niacin, choline, and folic acid.
Egg Whites
Egg whites contain amino acids, which a dog needs to build muscle. It’s protein that gets broken down and absorbed through the animal’s GI (gastrointestinal intestinal) tract. The nutrients in egg whites are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
