Just curious.... why would that be better then actual eggs?
Also... thanks DeeDee for the info.
Convenience. Originally geared toward cats. Many cats won't eat raw yolk. And many of us have discovered that 1/4 yolk daily, as opposed to one or two yolks a week, is more effective at hairball control/motility management. So even if the cat will eat raw yolk, giving 1/4 raw yolk a day could be a problem.
So in the files there are instructions on how to dry egg yolk but it is very labor/time intensive.
Dried is often preferred because, with the moisture removed, it not only lasts longer, cats who might balk at raw or boiled yolk, may be willing to accept the tiny amount of dried needed.
I choose to just give Mazy cat boiled yolk, 1/4 boiled yolk a day, so I boil an egg every 4 days for her. I won't use the Food Fur Life product for Mazy cat because Mazy has to have organic eggs. Certified organic. I might try it for Jennie and Queen Eva though. They take EYL currently, 1/2 capsule daily, with half an egg yolk each, once a week, on Sunday (they both eat it raw).
I realize we're discussing dogs here, but though the dried yolk product was created with cats in mind, it is for dogs also and of course has other benefits besides hair ball help.
I use Pete & Gerry's eggs, for the cats and I. Just like after I discovered the difference in organic non GMO fed chicken, I'll never go back.
