| Coconut oil eliminates fleas-Natural Remedy I brought fleas into the house from outside and they got on my Yorkies. i had some coconut oil by my recliner and while looking through their fur, I saw several fleas scurrying about. Being too fast to catch, I dabbed some of the coconut oil on the area and the fleas are history. I read that the coconut oil breaks down the flea's exoskeleton and causes it to suffocate.It also stops them in their tracks where they can be picked off easily. What a relief to have the Yorkies soothed and happy again. |

here's the link: Welcome to Tropical Traditions I like the Gold Label Extra Virgin for a skin conditioner,cooking oil,and for flavoring desserts. They will try and eat the oil directly but too much will make their stools loose. What they lick off their fur doesn't bother them. | |

| I have used coconut oil for quite some time on my skin, cooking, baking, etc and started using it on Lulu right after she joined our family. Right after her bath I will massage a small amount into her coat and skin (too much and their coat will look oily)...she loves her massages. I also feed her a small amount a couple of times a week...in addition to the amount she licks off of me after my showers. Look up the benefits of coconut oil...you will be amazed.

| i always put coconut oil on my yorkies too. I just got my first show yorkie and the breeder swears by the coconut oil, when the dogs arent showing they are always little coconut grease balls. It is also great for my puppy it makes his hair not get tangeled. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Do you use just a bit like we would on our hair ( just the ends) or like you would when having an oil treatment ? Do their hair absorbs the oil, or do they stay oily until the next bath? I bet the smell wonderful

Donating YT 500 Club Member | We use it for many things - it's great for hair, skin, my dh is using it (along with other natural herbs, etc.) for arthritis pain in his knee, I give it to the yorkies for the many health benefits.

I buy Garden of Life Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Sissy gets this daily with her meals (instead of salmon oil). It was actually recommended by a vet and nutritionist to help with her digestive disorder and it is much lower in fat than salmon oil as well. She only gets about 1/4 tsp daily. No loose stools at all.
