| Skin Conditions Clears up skin conditions such as eczema, flea allergies, contact dermatitis,and itchy skin Reduces allergic reactions and improves skin health Makes coats become sleek and glossy, and deodorizes doggy odor Prevents and treats yeast and fungal infections, including candida Disinfects cuts and promotes wound healing Applied topically, promotes the healing of cuts, wounds, hot spots, dry skin and hair, bites and stings Digestion Improves digestion and nutrient absorption Aids healing of digestive disorders like inflammatory bowel syndrome and colitis Reduces or eliminates bad breath in dogs Aids in elimination of hairballs and coughing Immune System, Metabolic function, Bone Health Contains powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal agents that prevent infection and disease Regulates and balance insulin and promotes normal thyroid function Helps prevent or control diabetes Helps reduce weight, increases energy Aids in arthritis or ligament problems Integrative Veterinarian and Naturopathic Doctor, Dr. Karen Becker, says “Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) have been shown to improve brain energy metabolism and decrease the amyloid protein buildup that results in brain lesions in older dogs. Coconut oil is a rich source of MCTs. I recommend 1/4 teaspoon for every 10 pounds of body weight twice daily for basic MCT support.” Why not give coconut oil a try and introduce it to your dog? It offers many benefits for your dog and is a more sustainable and less toxic source of oils than fish. i found this online ...hope it helps.

| I give Jada and Bogie a 1/4 teaspoon every morning with their breakfast. They love it and I do believe it helps in lots of areas. When they were in long coats I would do a deep conditioning with it about every 4 weeks, massaging it into their coat and skin before their bath.
