Go ahead, and include the shell as well. Eggshells are full of calcium. Whole eggs are very healthy for your dog.

If your are talking about a daily egg, then that is too much. I agree with an occasional egg, it seems to have benefits for a healthy, shiny coat.
My boys get egg about once a month and really enjoy it. If you're going to give an egg to your dog keep it as an occasional treat, not part of the dinner.
Too many eggs can be unhealthy for your pet.

raw eggs are good for dogs. look up raw food diets.
Dairy foods are not required by the dog in an evolutionary sense, however, high quality yogurt or kefir contains essential bacteria for bowel health and for general health which would be found in evolutionary foods such as feces or prey gut content. You will need to find a sugarless brand from the health store or make your own. Eggs are an inexpensive source of top quality protein, vitamin A, minerals and if free range they also contain good amounts of fatty acids. The entire egg shell and all is fed. Egg yolks are excellent 'skin food'
DOGS CAN NOT GET SALMONELLA IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

Raw eggs are not a good idea. Even though salmonella is NOT a health threat to dogs (according to the USFDA), there is an abundance of avidin in raw eggs that can block the absorpsion of a vital B vitamin (biotin). This can lead to serious debilitating conditions in your dog, especially over time.

I know that if you feed a cat a raw egg once a day it makes their coat healthier, their a lot less likely to shed everywhere. Maybe the same is true for dogs.

One of our dogs has extremely dry skin. I looked up info for this condition and it recommended giving him a raw egg 2 times a week. It is good for their coat and skin.

My sister would give our dog the yolk (or white) of the egg. When a recipe would call for just a yolk or the white she would give the dog whatever she didn't need. The whites will help your dogs coat.

I always give my dogs cooked eggs, never raw.
i had a vet tell me that the albumin in egg whites can poison some dogs...besides the whole salmonella thing..better give them a hard boiled or scrambled egg (so good for their coats)
I would worry about cholesterol too, so you might want to reduce that to once a week maybe 2x's a week??

It would be much safer to give your dog a hard-boiled egg (cooled). It only takes a couple of minutes.
