About EGG

An "organic egg" is an egg produced by hens that are fed organic feed, raised in a manner consistent with organic farming practices, and have access to the outdoors. These eggs are typically found in grocery stores and farmers' markets. Regarding pets, specifically cats and dogs, organic eggs are generally safe to consume when cooked, as they provide a good source of protein and essential nutrients. However, raw eggs should be avoided due to the risk of Salmonella and biotin deficiency. Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing new food into your pet's diet to ensure it aligns with their health needs.
