For pet owners who choose to prepare home-cooked meals for their dogs and cats, recipes that include eggs are a way to ensure their pets receive the highest-quality protein naturally available. Whether as part of the human diet or pet diet, protein from eggs helps build muscle strength, among other benefits.

Because pet foods are complex and can be difficult to make, the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) does not recommend that pet owners prepare their own food. However, for owners who choose to do so, the AVMA recommends that pet owners confer with their veterinarian and only use recipes designed by animal nutrition professionals.

The American Egg Board worked with Davis Veterinary Medical Consulting (DVMC), a group of credentialed veterinary professionals, to create the following easy-to-follow recipes: Egg Doguignon and Egg Catiatore.
