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.

You are absolutely right. This is what I've been told as well...raw eggs are a no-no. I remember feeding them to the dog we had when I was a kid...guess we're learning more and more about our dog's diets and what's good for them
Cooked eggs are good only as a treat and not as a regular thing....also, from what I've read, dogs are susceptible to salmonella poisoning.
