Dogs whose coats are dull, listless and rough despite getting adequate food and de-worming may just need a little extra vitamin E in their diets to perk their fur right up.  We had a puppy that was getting free choice grain-free puppy food, was current on de-worming and by all rights should have looked healthy.  Despite our efforts, her coat was awful – no one wanted to pet her.  I began giving her one egg from our free-range chickens each day, and within about one week, her coat began responding by getting softer, sleeker and shiny.  A few months later, you are not able to tell she ever looked unhealthy.  Her coat is glossy, soft and has no foul odor like it used to.

Will Eggs Make My Dog Fat?
Carbohydrates make our dogs fat.  Most of us feed commercial dry foods, which can be made up of up to 50 percent carbohydrates, contributing to weight problems and potentially diabetes.  Eggs are much closer to a natural diet for dogs, so if your dog is overweight, try increasing his exercise and reducing his dry food while still supplementing with eggs.Vitamin E and Dogs
Vitamin E can be a powerful antioxidant, while reducing fat oxidization and increasing good cholesterol levels.  All of these factors are important for overall health, and according to a doctor writing for the University of Florida, dogs should be given vitamin E supplements of 400 IU per day for dogs under two and 800 IU for dogs older than two years.

Whether you choose to feed eggs or supplement with Vitamin E, your dog will reap the benefits of a healthier immune system, skin and coat.
