Eggs are a superfood for dogs!

🦴🔥Arthritis. Limping. Joint pain. Stiffness. Difficulty getting up.🐾

These are some of the most common reasons dog owners search for help online, especially as their dogs get older.

In a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial, the gold standard of clinical research, dogs receiving eggshell membrane🥚 showed significant improvements in joint pain and mobility after just 7 days. That is surprisingly fast considering many joint supplements take 4 to 8 weeks before noticeable benefits appear.

Eggshell🥚 membrane is the thin layer inside an eggshell and naturally contains collagen, glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid in one natural matrix.

That is one reason why included eggshell membrane collagen in MOBILITY MATRIX™, alongside UC II®, glucosamine sulfate, MSM, and hyaluronic acid to support healthy joints, connective tissue, muscle function, and long term mobility in dogs and cats.

THE LITTLE SECRET THEY WONT TELL YOU 🤫
Well-meaning pet parents buying food for their pets should look beyond the protein name on the bag.

A pet that (allergically) reacts to chicken, for instance, may be reacting to the condition of that protein: old meat, rendered meals, poor cold-chain handling, microbial spoilage, oxidized fats, synthetic additives, or a gut already inflamed by ultra-processed food.

Did you know?
Decomposing meat sources can dramatically raise histamine exposure, and biogenic amines such as histamine, tyramine, cadaverine, and putrescine are byproducts of microbial spoilage ‼️

Once formed, they are heat stable, so cooking, baking, canning, or rendering does not reliably erase them. The FDA makes this same point with fish: histamine can build after death when spoilage bacteria act on tissue, and once formed, it cannot be removed by washing, freezing, or heating.

💸 This is why inexpensive pet food can become expensive biology.

😱 AAFCO notes that certain dead, dying, diseased, or disabled animal materials may enter animal feed after rendering to remove disease-causing microorganisms. Rendering may address microbes, but it does not turn aged, decomposing, or low-quality raw material back into fresh food. Roadkill and old carcass material carry the same concern in plain language: unknown time of death, unknown temperature, unknown gut rupture, and no controlled chilling.

🚧 Healthy food cannot come from sick animals or bad handling.

Humanely raised, pastured animals eating species-appropriate diets create a very different food than feedlot animals, conventionally fed ingredient animals, rotting meats, or heat-processed meals made from questionable raw material.

A pet can react to histamine, but histamine is rarely the whole story. Gut imbalance, parasites, heavy metals, poor mineral status, medications, stress, and immune dysfunction can all affect histamine response.

Aside from the possibility of a pet's own underlying health condition, freshness, sourcing, handling, processing, and the health of the animal behind that protein determine what actually lands in the bowl, and how your pet responds to it.

Debunking a popular belief

Garlic for dogs 🧄…let’s clear this up 👇

Garlic often gets labeled “toxic” because it’s related to onions, but here’s the nuance: garlic contains about 1/15th the amount of the compound linked to toxicity and is actually recognized as a safe ingredient in commercial pet foods (AAFCO).

In small, appropriate amounts, garlic provides allicin, which may support:
❤️ Heart health
🛡️ Immune function
🦠 Antimicrobial support

The studies often cited to claim harm? They used extreme doses…the equivalent of feeding a 70 lb dog ~245 cloves of garlic in one week (yes, really). Even then, no dogs showed outward symptoms, just minor microscopic changes in some red blood cells.

The amounts in this graphic fall well within safe daily feeding guidelines 👍

🐈 For added context: the National Research Council has even set a historical safe intake for cats at 17 mg/kg of body weight, further highlighting that dose matters.

Bottom line:
Garlic isn’t the villain - it’s the amount that matters.

📌 Save this for reference & always stick to proper serving sizes 🐶🐱
