Freeze Dried Quail Eggs Guaranteed Analysis: Whole Egg Label

The freeze dried quail eggs guaranteed analysis on our package label reads crude protein at least 31%, crude fat at least 26%, crude fiber at most 10%, moisture at most 10%, and 4,087 kcal ME per kg, about 115.9 kcal per ounce. The ingredient is the whole egg, shell included, and no figure for a single egg is printed.

What does the quail egg label print?

Our product listing reproduces the package label, and the same figures sit on our quail egg page. Five lines come from it, and here they are in the label's own order:

Crude protein, minimum 31%.
Crude fat, minimum 26%.
Crude fiber, maximum 10%.
Moisture, maximum 10%.
Metabolizable energy, 4,087 kcal ME per kg, approximately 115.9 kcal per ounce.

The first four are the guaranteed analysis proper. The fifth is the energy figure, written twice, once per kilogram and once per ounce, for the same food. Nothing on those lines names a serving, a piece or an egg. They describe the product as it comes out of the bag.

How far do the egg lines sit from our seafood labels?

Our range has seven bag labels, and the eggs sit at an edge on three lines. Their protein floor is the lowest of the seven. Their fat floor is the highest; the next highest is the frog legs at 7%, and every other bag prints less than that. Their energy figure is the highest as well, with the frog legs next at 85.9 kcal per ounce.

That is a comparison of printed numbers and nothing more. We do not read a recommendation into it, and we do not rank the bags. Whether the fat line matters for your own dog is a question for your veterinarian, who knows what else the dog eats in a day.

How do minimum and maximum read on a bag of eggs?

A line marked min is a floor. The bag promises at least that much, and the true figure can sit above it. A line marked max is a ceiling, so the bag promises no more than that, and the true figure can sit below it. That is the whole reading.

Applied here, the egg bag promises at least 31% protein and at least 26% fat, and no more than 10% fiber and no more than 10% moisture. The energy figure carries no min or max at all. We stop at the reading. The label does not say how any of the four lines was reached, and we do not guess.

Why is there no calorie figure for one egg?

Because the label never prints one, and the store sells the eggs a way that makes it easy to wonder. The listing says they are sold by count, with a bag of 9, 18, 72 or 288 eggs, and not by weight. The label, meanwhile, gives energy per kilogram and per ounce. Count on one side and weight on the other do not meet on the page.

Nothing printed bridges them. There is no weight for a single egg and no number of eggs in an ounce, so any per-egg calorie figure would be one we invented. We do not work one out. If you are sizing a treat share, take the per-ounce figure to your veterinarian and let them do the arithmetic for your dog.

On the larger counts the bag gets opened many times, and our storage guide covers keeping it closed between uses.

What does the label leave to the listing?

Plenty, and this is where the split matters. The label lines above cover protein, fat, fiber, moisture and energy. They do not say the eggs are raw, that the shell stays on, that the eggs are fragile or how to serve them. Those facts come from the listing.

The listing names raw whole quail eggs as the only ingredient, describes the freeze-dried shell as brittle enough to be eaten with the egg, and calls broken eggs and shell dust in the bag expected. Its serving options are three: hand one over whole, crush it onto a meal, or give it a short soak in warm water, and the soak is optional, since the listing says they can be fed dry. It also carries a warning: wash your hands after handling them, "as with any raw protein."

Past the hand washing, the FDA, raw pet food diets page (opened 2026-10-16) asks that anything else the raw food reached be cleaned and disinfected. Our quail eggs are imported, and we make the bags in small batches in Malvern, Pennsylvania. Other short guides are on the guides hub.

Questions

Does the shell count in the analysis?

The label gives one set of numbers for the product, and the listing names the whole egg, yolk, white and shell, as the single ingredient. It does not split the shell out, so we cannot say how much of any line comes from it, and we do not estimate it.

Does a high fat line mean my dog should skip them?

We make no call either way. The label prints a number, and what your dog eats in a day decides the rest. VCA, Dog Treats (opened 2026-10-16) limits treats to around 10 percent of a dog's calories for the day. The eggs are an occasional extra beside the regular food, never the whole diet. Your veterinarian can answer the fat question.

Does the analysis change with the bag count?

The listing prints one analysis for all four counts: 9, 18, 72 and 288. The count changes how many eggs are in the bag, and the label lines stay as printed. If you are weighing sizes, the numbers will not tell you which to pick.

Do cracked eggs read the same on the label?

The label does not separate whole eggs from cracked ones. The listing treats cracked eggs and shell dust as an ordinary part of the bag, and the label prints one set of figures for all of it. We have no separate figure for them.

Are the eggs raw?

Yes. The listing says raw whole quail eggs, and the label is silent on it. That is why the listing carries its hand washing warning, "as with any raw protein," and the FDA page above covers cleaning what the eggs touched.

Does a cat bowl read the same label?

The listing says the eggs are for dogs and cats. For a cat it offers one egg whole, crushed over food or softened in warm water. No cat portion is printed, and VCA writes about dogs, so a cat's amount belongs with its own veterinarian.
