STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • The humble egg contains various bioactive compounds, such as phospholipids and antioxidants that may promote better vision and immune response
  • It also has all 10 essential amino acids that your pet needs — these are required for various functions, such as metabolic regulation, gene expression and cell signaling
  • Choline, which helps lower the risk of "doggy dementia," is also found in this superfood
  • Ideally, buy eggs that come from pasture-raised animals, as these come from a sustainable environment that follows the animal's natural habitat and protects the farmer's health
