Act 3 - Scene 3
Preparing Eggs

• Eggs are a little different from meat in preparation.

• They should not be fed raw too often as the raw egg white can cause a loss of biotin (a B-vitamin).

• To prevent the loss of biotin, eggs should be soft boiled to kill the avidin which is the cause of the biotin problem.

• As a guideline, use approximately 1 egg for every 10 to 15 pounds your dog or cat weighs.

• Bring some water to a boil in a saucepan.

• Once boiling, remove from the heat.

• Add the eggs and let them soak in the hot water for 5 minutes.

• After 5 minutes, remove the eggs and crack them in the bowl or on the plate to stop the cooking process.

• Although raw food is best, in this case, the slight cooking still allows the egg to maintain plenty of nutrients while helping to kill the avidin.

• I like to feed eggs on cold days because the eggs are guaranteed to be warm.

• It is a good idea to keep eggs on hand.

• Should you forget to thaw some meat, at least you have eggs ready to go in the fridge.

• The preparation of the food is complete. Time for feeding.

Eggs are a wonderful food to feed especially since free range eggs are now readily available!

Free range eggs are relatively affordable, nutritious, pure and healthy.
