Coconut Oil For Pets

Coconut Oil Supreme™ is also beneficial for your pets. People report feeding it to everything from tropical birds to cats and dogs. One veterinarian reports seeing near miraculous results in dogs with smelly coats. Not only does the appearance improve, but in a matter of days the odor disappears when coconut oil is added to the diet. It is reported that dogs with flea allergies, contact dermatitis and other allergic conditions typically stop scratching soon after coconut oil is added to their diet. It can also be applied topically to scratches, bites, etc. to promote faster healing. Cat owners report that coconut oil helps alleviate fur ball problems and also makes their coats shinier.

The general recommendation is to begin slowly, adding liquid or solid coconut oil to the food and gradually working up to about 1 teaspoon per 10 lbs. of body weight per day. An article in Whole Dog Journal suggests starting with 1/4 teaspoon per day for small dogs or puppies and 1 teaspoon per day for large dogs. They warn that even in healthy dogs, large amounts of coconut oil can cause diarrhea while the body adjusts.

Most pets like the taste of Coconut Oil Supreme™. In fact some people have reported that one problem with using it as a moisturizer on their own skin is that their pets want to lick it off.
