Has anyone tried using coconut oil in their dogs food ?
Coconut oil is the "health" additive for dog diets. I am researching it and would like to know if anyone is using it presently with thier dogs.

grated coconut is an old remedy for roundworms and I have use coconut oil shampoo on dogs with soft coats like the cockers. I believe coconut oil is benificial for both human and dogs and is an anitoxident, however I am not aware that it is readily available although I use coconut milk and cream in cooking and have sometimes given a little of it to my dogs.

Yeah, people in the U.S. are now feeding thier dogs virgin coconut oil the way we've been all feeding flax seed and salmon oil. It seems to be a new thing . . wonder if its a passing fad or if it truly does have postitive health benefits. Was wondering if you guys in the U.K. were talking about it as well?

have you heard of any adverse comments or reactions to coconut oil on the Barf sites ? I alway use FBO or flax oil (for dogs and myself) and would be interest to hear your views on coconut oil

Defo with the flax oil tho, a lot of dogs just don`t tolerate it & there are better things, theres a list that rates the best oils, if I can find it I`ll put that on as well

Thats another thing S/B, the quality of oils is v important & the best is cold pressed, also the way its bottled & kept, light destroys a lot of its properties so good 1`s are in dark bottles, also some should be kept refrigerated
