Thank you for submitting your question regarding Murphy. I do not recommend feeding him an egg every day. An egg is actually a fair amount of calories for a puppy. It will likely fill him up and he will eat less dog food. It could also lead to unnecessary weight gain. His puppy food is appropriately formulated for his growth and development. I hope this information helps!
