Peek A Boo, 15.5 yo, weighs 7 pounds and gets 3/4 + teaspoons twice daily, mixed in with his food.
Sapphire, 5 yo, is 8 pounds and gets a teaspoon in her food twice a day.
Finny, 4 yo, weighs about 12 pounds and gets 1.5 teaspoons in with her food twice a day.
At one point I gave Peek A Boo more, but his skin got oily so I cut his dose back some till his skin no longer felt oily.
I warm their food a bit and the coconut oil melts into it.
Coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid... most other oils are long chain fatty acids, so the body digests them differently. Coconut oil will not cause pancreatitis, it actually helps the pancreas and can help level out blood glucose levels. Peek a Boo had two bouts of pancreatitis when he was 6 years old.... none since.
I started mine on a 1/4 teaspoon twice a day and built up from there. It allowed them to get used to the taste... now they won't eat their food without it. |
That's what I started our boxers out at, 1/4 teaspoon, probably could go more, but I'm also switching their food, and I don't wanna push my luck, lol. I can't believe al the stuff this is good for!!
