We have been feeding Douglas a scrambled egg cooked in a little virgin olive oil for his dry skin. He loves it and can't wait for the egg to be cooked and cooled. The question is this - what would be considered a healthy regimen if scrambling one egg? Once a week? Three times a week? Is every day too much egg? Of course that's not all he gets. We also feed him flint river ranch lamb, rice and millet as well as the trout and potato kibble (about one-third of a cup daily.)

Dogs can eat eggs daily.
It's important to watch the fat content (because of weight and pancreatitis concerns), so some people give the white only. It is also important to make sure that homecooked and unsupplemented food isn't making up more than 10% of his daily food intake.

You may find that certain fish oils and vitamin e would be better for what you want to accomplish.

Thanks for the speedy reply. Douglas is also getting one-eigth teaspoon of cod liver oil and one-eigth teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil on alternate days mixed in with his flint river ranch kibble. So I think his nutrition is probably pretty well rounded. What do you think?
