The benefits of coconut oil extend to our canine friends! The Dogington Post recently posted an article on the successful uses of coconut oil for our dogs. It can aid in the prevention of cancer and thyroid issues. Digestion is often improved, and yeast and fungus can be treated. When applied externally, it gives a gorgeous sheen to their coats. How about the treatment and reduction of arthritis pain? Yes, it too can be helped with coconut oil.
The Post shares absolutely important dosing tips, “The recommended dose is pretty easy; just give a teaspoon of coconut oil per 10 pounds of dog, or you can give a table spoon per 30 pounds. Start with about 1/4 the recommended dosage and build up to the recommended level over 3-4 weeks, as sometimes flu-like symptoms can appear if you hurried it right away.” You can read the full article here.
