  • Coconut oil is made up of more than 90% Medium Chain Triglicerides (MCTs) which are the main source of benefits.
  • Coconut oil, having these super awesome MCTs, can do a lot for your dog, including:
    • Clear up skin problems, from allergies to dry skin,
    • Improve general skin health,
    • Make their coat shiny while also deodorizing any doggie odor,
    • Prevents and treats yeast and fungal infections,
    • Disinfects cuts,
    • Improves digestion,
    • Reduces and eliminates bad breath,
    • Helps control diabetes,
    • Increases energy, and
    • Aids in arthritis or ligament problems.
  • 1/4 Tbsp per every 10 pounds of body weight twice daily for basic MCT support.

​Just like when adding anything new to your pet's diet, we do suggest starting your dog out on coconut oil slowly with approximately half the normal dosage for the first week and then increase to the full dose over the course of the next week.  Giving the full dose right from the start can cause mild flu like symptoms.
