Cheryllynn, I don't know if you have a Rittzman Pharmacy around you, but that's where I got mine at. They had it at Walmart, but the only kind I could fined there was refined, and you don't want that kind. Do you have a Giant Eagle around you? I called there before I found it at the pharmacy and they checked for me and said they had it. I wouldn't use the kind that has the stuff in it you listed, as I haven't read up on that and don't know what benefits it would have so I really can't say anything about it. From all I've read, it has to be organic virgin coconut oil, cold pressed non-refined. Hope you can find some!

I went back and re-read the posts. I think there is a GNC by me. There is not a Walmart close to me.

The two that I looked at were organic. I had my daughter with me or I would have talked to the store manager. The store brand one had the ingredients listed the strangest. But it was Whole Foods, so nothing was inexpensive.

I am going to the Vet on Thursday, and I was going to ask him about coconut oil. Has anyone asked their Vet?

Nope, never asked my vet about it, I normally do my own research on stuff and if I am leary or don't understand, then I talk to doc. Not that I'm more educated then him about these things, I just wing it sometimes where I feel I can. And so far, I'm pretty comfy with all I've read and researched.

I use coconut oil on Ian during bathtime. After I rinse the shampoo, I let him soak in a small tub of warm water and a tablespoon of coconut oil. I then rinse him off. It leaves his fur is so soft and shiny, and not oily.
