Hey Diane
Your question isn't silly at all. I have been reading up on the benefits or the oil and had the same question! I found out that it can be both. Some give it on their food or on a spoon and some use it during grooming. The one thing I found by reading on here is that people are recommending organic coconut oil. If you search on here youvwill find suggested brands and places to get them!
