Corious
 

I know that coconut oil is known for many uses but I don't have an idea that it is also good for pet.

I drizzle coconut oil over the dry food and it soaks in and they eat it. Even my kitties will eat the dog food with coconut oil drizzled on it. :p

I suppose you could mix a little raw (organic) honey with VO coconut oil...actually, it sounds yummy...maybe on toast for breakfast for me...lol...and since honey is not a mfg'd product like corn syrup, as long as you are using raw honey (not refined in any way, or pasteurized, etc.) I would not think of it as an issue. Honey is anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-viral, etc. and handled in the body as a whole food, where a refined sugar is torn apart from the other food constituents...proteins, etc...by the refinement process and is handled completely different in the body. I use it in organic green tea when I come in contact with micro-organisms...such as having work done in the ceilings at work when they set all the dust mites flying through the duct work to infect all workers equally...lol. It's been really beneficial for me. I am thinking back and wondering but I cannot recall ever actually deliberately giving honey to any of my 'kids' so I am not sure whether they'd even eat it or not.

You can put minute amounts of VOCO on their coats without making them greasy-looking. You can put very small amounts into a spray bottle of water, too, and use it as a brushing/combing/detangling spray...shake it well before spraying and warm the bottle if it is cold in the room to make sure the VOCO is liquid. Another thing you can put on their hair to control the static is emu oil...make sure to get the "Montana..." brand, though. Again...minute amounts. My kids LOVE that as well, and will 'fight' to lick it off my hands while I try to put in on their hair, skin, etc., so sometimes I just let them have some to eat. :p:D

So, where do you buy the coconut oil?

:eek:Oh my, thank you for pointing this out, you are right, I see that in her profile. I did not see a cap on the letter H and read quickly, I thought it would be odd to give that much honey to a small dog, I would have checked first, but thanks for saying something

Sorry for the confusion....Honey is my baby I wasnt going to give her honey lol.

Also can you get coconut oil from walmart? If so what kind does everyone get?

I buy the organic cold pressed coconut oil from GNC. I believe the brand is called nitivia.

Correction, that is nutivia.

That is the one I use for Me, dogs. I love it in my coffee. Gives me a boost. I warm up some for the dogs in warm water. They love it.

Most grocery stores have it in their health food aisle. My store carries "Spectrum Expeller Pressed Organic Virgin Coconut Oil".

Ok I went to the store and it says coconut oil but It can in a jar and its not a liquid. Idk if I got the right thing and dont want to put it on her until someone tells me it ok to use.

Yes, most brands come in a jar. It won't be liquid because the melting temperature of coconut oil is 76 degrees. So it's fine. You can warm the jar briefly in the microwave to get it to melt. What I do is scoop about 1/2 teaspoon on to Lexie's food, then heat in the microwave & stir up. She loves it!

I have been using coconut oil for one of my dog's ear infections... as a preventive not to cure. I just put some on a qtip and clean his ear.

I have purchased the organic coconut oil from publix (grocery store in fla) and at gnc. I have been wanting to try and make my own... I do have coconut palms in my yard and a vitamix ..we will see:)

lol, every time I scroll through and see this post I think of the Activia commercial: "Nu*tiiv*iiaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Ok so I put the coconut oil in Honey food and I have never seen her eat her hard dog food like it was the best thing she ever had lol. I am so happy its funny cause she want stop licking the bowl. Next is her bath.... do yall make the coconut oil into a liquid when you put it on their skin or so you just rub it in the way it came out of the jar????
