Natural Dog Products

Dogs can benefit from natural coconut oil as much as their people do.

Add cold pressed coconut oil to your dog’s food to help trim thick (overweight) dogs, conditions dry shabby-looking fur, often gives relief to painful arthritis or ligament problems in senior dogs or working dogs, can help balance the dog’s thyroid , coconut oil helps candida, keeps gives dogs a natural source of energy and helps dogs smell better, (no doggy smell on coat or breath).

My favorite use of organic virgin coconut oil – improves digestion and nutrient absorption. Cooking with coconut oil is easy. I replace all oils in the doggy treats I bake with Nutiva coconut oil.

People have found with topical use their dogs ear infections improve, as do flea allergies, contact dermatitis, and other skin irritations. It’s also been shown to help get rid of moles, heal sores and condition the dog’s dry cracked feet pads.

The oil can be applied to sores. It is slow absorbing so try to keep the dog occupied for several minutes after applying it. Try it on hot spots, sore foot pads, minor bites or even to clean ears.

Coconut oil will deodorize anything it touches and will make your dog smell better when it’s fed to him.

Dogs love the taste of coconut and many will lick it off a spoon. The best coconut oil is unrefined virgin coconut oil. If your dog’s don’t like the sweet taste of organic unrefined virgin coconut oil, buy the expeller pressed coconut oil. It can be feed alone or mixed in dog food. Start very slow. Work up to a teaspoon a day for each 20 pounds of body weight. If you notice greasy stools cut back the oil for a few days. The oil will help detox the system so it’s important to go slow and over several weeks work up to the full dosage.

I’m sharing a video from Dr. Joseph Mercola. Yes he is speaking to us about the benefits of coconut oil for people but the exact same message goes for dogs and cats.
