If you do try it I hope it's as helpful to you as it was for me. It also makes their coat shiny. Just remember as with any vitamin or supplement becareful that your dog isnt getting to much.
The bottle I had, had a little hole in the top so I would only put like 2 squirts in it, 2 squeezes. and mix it in the food I did it every day for the first week and when I saw and improvement I slowed to every other day. They love it. I give my shepherds some every once in awhile, Specially when they are blowing coat. Just boosts them a little.

Also give Vitamin C with bioflavonoids, this is a natural anti histamine.

Whatever you choose to try, only try one at a time. If you try more than one at a time you will not know what is really helping..or if the dog reacts you won't know what it is reacting to. Also, with anything you try, start out slow. It's also best to journal as to what you are trying- when you started and how much, etc., because it is so easy to forget things when. BTW, as far as eggs go, my holistic vet said 2 maximum a week. Good luck!

before you go out and buy stuff to ADD to his diet, please take a look at the ingredient list on the back of his dog food. if you would like to post the ingredients here, or message me directly with them, i will be able to tell you the main culprits for itchy skin. you're better off REMOVING them first, and then add supplements on an as need basis.
a few ingredients to look out for: corn (obviously), wheat, wheat gluten, dried beet pulp, chicken 'flavor', brewers yeast, soy, soybean oil, flax, etc.
if you don't remove the culprit first, you may just end up compounding the problem.
then, when he's hopefully on a grain free (or raw if possible) diet, you can start looking at supplements such as salmon oil, which is fine for most dogs but some continue to itch or lose small patches of hair on it, fish body oil, sardine/anchovy oil, vitamin e, etc. if you want to add raw egg to his diet (fantastic!) make sure you get either pastured eggs from a local farm or farmers market (they're not very expensive at all, i get mine for 2.75 per dozen), or get organic free-range eggs (which can be pricey and not as good).
if you have any questions or need any more help, please feel free to message me.
good luck!
