Eggstra good kong

I recently came up with the idea for an egg and veggie omelet for the dogs. And since we're a Kong family, this mixture went straight into their favorite only-for-special-occasions toys to the tune of a few good tail wags. This recipe is a double-egger. (You'll see what I mean in a minute)

I can already promise you this is going be a fall favorite in our house. We recently added four layer hens to our menagerie and Bear and Scooter can't wait to capitalize on their eggy goodness. If all goes according to plan they'll be laying their first eggs by fall, so until then we're begrudginly using store-bought. To make a healthy veggie egg omelet for your dogs follow these simple guidelines but feel free to adjust to your dogs preferences as needed.

You'll need:

4 eggs, divided (protein, good for skin/coat)

2 carrots-peeled, finely diced (good for eyes/vision)

1/2 cup broccoli florets- finely diced (good digestion)

1/3 cup frozen peas 

1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tsp cinnamon (see benefits here) 

To assemble:

Scramble 3 of the eggs. In the last few moments of cooking add:  finely diced veggies, frozen peas, and cinnamon. Turn off heat and mix in cheese. Add the remaining  raw egg (this acts as the "glue") and mix gently until mixture is holding together well. Then take your double egger mix and fill a kong, or use as an additive to your dogs regular kibble. Mixture will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days.
