P.S. Dried Cranberries and Dried Blueberries are supposed to be EXCELLENT as well! I have been feeding 4 of each to Roxy and TJ daily now for a week

Ohhh, good idea with the fruits, I'll get some of those.

I hope the oil is the same stuff, I know she'll love it, she loves licking cold stuff like icecream so she'll like coconut ice cubes

Coconut oil improves any dog’s skin and coat, improves digestion, and reduces allergic reactions. Best bet is to find Coconut Oil 1000mg Softgels online. i recommend visiting supplemented dot co dot uk.

I tried coconut oil for my dogs but they each hated it. I would add it to their food and I usually had to mask the smell/taste with another flavor. I give them Fish oil which they love.


If your dogs like coconut oil great. I hear it is good for their skin and coat

I sometimes rub coconut oil on his comb and comb him with it, I also put it on my fingers and rub his teeth his tongue and the roof of his mouth whenever he eats his poop lol. Its antibacterial so I like to think it helps kill the poo bacteria. I let him lick my face and lips

I know I hear conflicting things about feeding Coconut oil.

Amazon this is the kind that I get, its fair trade none of that fake organic coconut oil stuff you get at any store.

I read a thread on here of people saying that fat is fat and it might cause pancreatitis because VCO has fat in it even though its a different type. I don't remember the specifics but supposedly there is no proof that it helps with anything. So I don't give it to my dog regularly cause I don't want to risk anything but I do use it topically.

Ah okay - I see what you're saying in terms of pancreatitis, which can be so unpredictable for sure.

I've never honestly done a search to see if there is any real, scientific proof that coconut oil has benefits....and I can't recall whether anyone has posted about studies in the past or not. Anecdotal evidence seems abundant, for sure - but I too would love to see actual studies.

Yes, I use it for me & about twice a day I massage it on my babies feet.
Well, he licks most of it off. Great for dry skin on us & our babies.
