Coconut oil or Fish oil? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Which do you prefer for your yorkie and why?

Coconut oil & Krill oil. It doesn't stink like fish oil & krill oil is superior to fish oil, easily absorbed by the body too.
Coconut oil would be great for those that can't tolerate fish oil, since it's plant based. I give both, switch it around.

I would have to say coconut oil. There's quite a few benefits such as helping aid pets digestion, improve their coats, help prevent infection and more.

Another benefit of krill oil is the omega 3's, which coconut oil doesn't have. It fights inflammation, good for the brain, eyes, heart, joints, skin & hair...boosts the immune system, a powerful antioxidant & free radical fighter. Coconut oil has some amazing benefits also.

Here's a few threads on it:

Coconut oil. I've tried both on Tatiana, and coconut oil is more effective -- no more itchy skin and shining coat. It works in a few days.

Also, Tatiana has a problem with eating fish oil (and fish, in general). Sometimes it makes her vomit. Tatiana has no problem with coconut oil.
