Tonight I put a half of a raw egg mixed in each of the pups food for their third meal of the day. They loved it. They are eating about 2 cups to 2 1/2 cups three times daily, depending on how much they feel like eating.

I put the egg in their food and they loved it.
I have always put an egg in Jodie, Guera and Bingos food about 3 times weekly, it does wonders for their skin and fur. I started doing it about 3 1/2 years ago with Guera and Bingo and noticed the difference in their skin and fur right away. Now when I got Jodie I did the same and her skin stopped flaking in a week.
I'm not necessarily sure what other things it does for them, but I know it has done nothing but good.

I read somewhere that this is "kind of raw" feeding... is it? How many times a week do you think I can put it in the pups food? Remember it is only about half and egg for each, not a whole one yet. I just want to know what you all think, is everyday ever okay?

Raw eggs are awesome for a dog. I feed my Thor 3 whole raw eggs per week, I also give him the shell because it is a great source of natural calcium. Eggs are awesome for the coat as well, soooo shiny.

If your dogs do well on it, then feeding one egg per day is fine.

I know that too much Calcium is very bad for rapid growing puppies like Great Danes, and should not really be supplemented. Would the egg shells still be okay? or should I just steer clear of the egg shells?

I gave Thor eggshells when he was a growing puppy, and he turned out fine, but I don't see how feeding shells once a week can have an adverse effect, just don' t feed them in excess, one once a week is fine. Actually look at the dog food you feed and see the calcium level, if the food you are feeding doesn't have enough calcium, supplement once a week, if it has enough then it really isn't necessary.
