size and preference. Freeze four and defrost through the week as needed. This recipe will keep in the freezer
for up to one month.
NOTE: Eggshells should be dried in a slow oven (about 130 degrees Celsius) for a few minutes. Once the shells are dried and
cooled, crush them well. The goal is to have fine powder.You can keep the powder in your fridge for about two weeks.
HINT: Fatty fish is very rich in the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.
DID YOU KNOW?: One teaspoon of crushed eggshell provides 1800 mg of calcium. Correct calcium to phosphorus ratio in
your dog’s diet is extremely important, as they work together to perform many functions, such as cell growth, the formation and
maintenance of bone, muscle contractions and heartbeat.
