Hi Jackie

Yes, it is one of the few 'fats' recommended for an EPI dog, as they can tolerate it better because it is a medium chain triglyceride, rather than a long chain one. We used to give my friends EPI dog a teaspoon of coconut oil with one or two of her meals each day.

Started giving it to my 3 yesteday. They gobbled it right up. Shall see what results I get.

P.S. One of my has EPI too.

Talked myself into getting some for my two as well. Just as a general tonic as my girl is approaching 10, thought it would be a good boost for her. Mine just slurped it right up too.

We can swap notes on results!

Yep, even my old 12 year old picky skinny finicky PITA boy will slurp it off the spoon, am tickled pink about that (he's in kidney crisis) so his eating habits have become shall we say a REAL challange. Yep, he'll eat it.

PS: Just had my house cleaned and with 4 long coats, before the cleaners get the front door shut I already have hair flying around; since the coconut oil addition which has been about 2 weeks; they cleaned on Monday, this is Wed. and guess what, WAY, WAY, less hair flying. Man I will appreciate this stuff more every day.

Great days and dogs everyone, Nan Thx for sharing the info.

We are living in a hair factory at the moment too. If this helps with that too I will be more than thrilled :)

by Nans gsd on 20 September 2012 - 02:09

Us too on the hair factory and don't know what to contribute it to except our move to So. Cal 5 years ago and YES since then they have never quit shedding. So I will be elated if it helps even just the shedding factor. Toodles, Nan

You may consider giving them raw farm fresh eggs. We gave our dog 1 egg a day from our ducks and her coat turned from feeling like steel wool to a beautiful coat that is pleasant to the touch.

Mine do get fresh raw eggs regularly too as part of their raw diet. They used to get them from my chickens, but the chickens have now 'retired' from laying and are OAP's so they have to have the free range ones from the supermarket LOL.

by Nans gsd on 22 September 2012 - 22:09

Yep free range and organic from market for my guys a couple times per week. nan
