raw eggs for dogs

Question
Hi,  I was telling my friend that I have been scrambleing eggs for my 2 dogs (not putting in the milk and stuff & not using butter in the pan)

He told me that I could give them 1 raw egg a day for their coats! ( 7 days a week ).

My question is, is raw eggs better for them or could they get sick?

Answer
You can give a raw ORGANIC egg OCCASIONALLY.  But continual use of raw eggs will cause the coat to become worse because it leads to a biotin deficiency.  Raw egg whites contain avidin, an enzyme which ties up biotin (makes it unavailable for absorption into the body). Symptoms of biotin deficiency include dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), loss of hair, and poor growth.

Stick to your scrambled servings.
