Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Emu Oil - Good for Dogs Coats & Skin I recently bought some Emu Oil for my own hair and started reading about it on the net - there is alot of info on it and from what I'm seeing - it's GREAT for our pets - Has anyone used it and has it helped ???? These sites offer alot of info on it. http://www.diamondemu.com/uses.htm http://www.gentleridge.com/animalsemuoil.html We see itchy yorkies here all the time and I thought I'd put this post up so people can do their own research if they're in need of a solution for their dogs coat or skin This is the part about PETS (from the 1st link I posted) : Pet Owners Use Emu Oil To: Soften pads on dogs and cats Condition the skin and coat Reduce irritation of flea bites Relieve dry, irritated skin Relieve chronic ear infections Treat minor cuts and wounds Relieve hot spots and dermatitis Reduce hair loss from skin problems |

I've used emu oil for ages. Especially on my show dogs. I've not had itching problems on any of my dogs. But it does protect the coat wonderfully and it doesn't attract the dirt as much as other oils do, also not as greasy. | |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm really liking what I'm reading. My friend said she uses it for her horses - it's for Joint pain too.... if it works for a HORSE.... Can you imagine what it can do for a Yorkie with bad knees or hips ? |

Rhapsody Yorkies sells it on her website I paid $18.00 ....she has it far less - http://www.dog-bows.com/cgi-bin/TheF...RP1&category=1 What I did was mix mine with water and put in a spray bottle. From what I read - you can run it under warm water to make it easier to apply and this is the ratio for spraying it on the coat - Mix 3 ounces of warm water with 1/2 ounce of Emu Oil, mist into slightly damp freshly bathed coat, finish drying. This amount is enough for a couple applications, depending on coat type and amount.

| I am REALLY liking what I'm reading!!!!!! I use Missing Link on my two and it has done wonders for their dry skin and coat, but they are still itching! I know the flea season is just AWEFUL this year, but I have been giving them Frontline every 2 weeks and haven't seen any fleas on them since I started this. But, after reading the benefits of the Emu Oil, I have a feeling this will be the magic potion for my two! I think they are itching because of the irritation the flea bites cause. Also, the pollen and junk they pick up in the yard is probably irritating their skin. I can't wait to try this stuff! Thanks, Villette! |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I AGREE! I'm going to try it today on Tessa my cocker - she has CHRONIC ear infections and after tons of vet visits and medications - I just found out the ONE medication I've been using on her - Baytril - is making her ears worse. This stuff sounds WONDERFUL....especially the part about pain relief and sores. |

| Never thought about using it on dogs since we have never had any itchy ones. I do have some. I use it for when my head itches after coloring and it stops the itch right away! Thanks for the website. I didn't know it was good for other things. |

| Does it have an unpleasant smell? A friend of my mother's sells it and my mom said she thought it didn't smell good (but she is used to fragrance free products).
