Its a beautiful day this morning, the kids all woke up with wagging butts, and happy tails. Its so nice this morning we are going to have our breakfast out on the patio by the pool. Everyone is getting a little bit of coconut oil on their food every morning, and you should see the happy tails I get when they get their portion! Coconut oil has so many benficial properties for dogs. Really consider adding to your dogs diet, the list of awesome reasons is below! 1. Coconut oil improves overall skin health, and clears up skin conditions such as eczema, flea allergies, contact dermatitis, and itchy skin. 2. Incredibly emollient, coconut oil helps moisturize the dryest K9 skin and makes a dogs coat gleam with health - whether you add it to her diet, her shampoo, or both! 3. Applied topically to the skin, coconut oil promotes the healing of cuts, wounds, hot spots, bites, and stings. 4. The antibacterial and anti-fungal properties of coconut oil help reduce doggy odor, and its pleasantly tropical aroma imparts a delightful scent to a dogs skin and coat. 5. Coconut oil prevents and treats yeast infections, including candida. Its antiviral agents also help dogs recover quickly from kennel cough. 6. Digestion and nutrient absorption are improved by the addition of coconut oil to a dogs diet. It can, however, cause stool to loosen; if that happens, just add a few spoonfuls of canned pumpkin to your dogs diet. 7. Coconut oil reduces - and sometimes eliminates - doggy breath. Some dog lovers even brush their pets teeth with the stuff! Which makes sense, as dogs love the taste of coconut oil, and that makes the chore less arduous for brusher and brushee. 8. Like cinnamon, coconut oil helps prevent diabetes by regulating and balancing insulin. It also promotes normal thyroid function, and helps prevent infection and heart disease. 9.Helping to reduce weight and increase energy, coconut oil also promotes mobility in dogs with arthritis and other joint issues. 10. Again like cinnamon, coconut oil is excellent for brain health; its being used to stave off dementia in humans, and its a must to keep senior dogs minds from becoming cloudy.
