Clinical Feeding Secrets & Avoidable Pitfalls
Veterinarian Pro-Tip:
Do not fear the old myth of raw egg 'avidin' causing biotin deficiency. The egg yolk contains one of nature's densest concentrations of biotin, completely neutralizing the avidin in the whites.
Common Mistake to Avoid:
Feeding factory-farmed commercial eggs with chemically washed or mineral-oil-coated shells without washing them. Choose organic pasture-raised eggs for pure, pesticide-free shells.
