Oil treatment 1 Attachment(s) Teddy is getting a warm oil treatment today. I just poured warm oil diluted with some water all over his coat. Now I am leaving the treatment to set while I get my daughters ready for school, then I will come home and give him his bath. |
spa day!! he is such a hamball even all oiled up!! lol do you find this helps their coat?? does he try and lick the oil?? |
so cute, Lola has dry hair, maybe I should do that for her, what type of oil do you use and have you done it before? |
oh my goodness! lol Yeah, does he try to lick it off? And, what kind do you use? Mandie's hair on her back is so dry and breaks and frizzes..if this actually works, I might try it. |
You can also use those vo5 hot oil treatments for humans Ive used those before |

Hmmm, this is why I give Mandie coconut oil - because her hair is on the dry side and her tummy is always dry. I have definitely seen an improvement in her tummy but just not so much her hair. I think I will try this on her. |
I've used coconut oil and miracle oil. It really helps his coat. A good clensing shampoo is needed as well, cause his coat gets alot of product build up. From conditioning stuff I've bought, from pethead. His coat is gonna be gorgeous :) Have fun!!! |

From what I know about human hair there's a chance that coconut oil may actually make you (or a dog) shed. It's fantastic for dry skin on hands, feet, knees and elbows but I wouldn't put it on my scalp for that reason. It does work well on the ends of the hair though. For a persons (or dog's) scalp you could try a lighter oil like olive, avocado, grapeseed or apricot. I'm vegan so I don't partake in this but I know a lot of people use an egg or egg white mixture on their face and hair. The reason why Mayo (ewww) works so well as a conditioner is because it's made up of oil and egg. |
Oh, let me explain...I put a little coconut oil in her food AND I brush her teeth with it (it's the only way she'll let me brush her teeth lol). I do rub a tad on her tummy/skin, though. |
Coconut not going to hurt them one bit to ingest it and have it rubbed on dry skin. It's really really good for them! Also, I don't think that rubbing it into places where they have hair is going to make them go bald either. I've just read a lot that people have noticed when they use coconut oil on their scalp they have noticed that they shed more hair. I have long hair and I use it a few times a week on just my ends. |

I wish I could get Lola to ingest coconut oil, she only eats dry food and she free feeds, some days she eats everything in her bowl sometimes it takes two days so I can't put it on the food, at one time she would lick it off my finger but not anymore. I was melting it and giving it to her with an eye dropper but she hated that and it was PITA to do. Not being a full bred yorkie her hair is different, it's much more dry, I can go three weeks without bathing her, while my yorkies could hardly make it a week without a bath. |
I use olive oil for the topical, just like for my own hair, but it does take a few washes to wash out the extra oil. His fur is silky soft now. I dont remember exactly how the skin absorbs, but dr oz explained it on his show. Excellent for human hair and scalp so I figured works for mine should try it on him. |
