My report on the results from coconut oil ! - Page 1

Been using coconut oil for about a month now. They love it, and eat it right off the spoon.

I am amazed. It has reduced shedding by about 75% !!  Also was having coat probs with one of mine and it has reversed those problems fantastically.  Another side effect (don't know if its the oil, but has only happened since then) is my old girl (10 in a few weeks) has become very 'frisky'.  She's always been pretty aloof with other dogs. Not unfriendly, just not especiallly interested, but now finds quite a few dogs 'to her taste' and is being flirty and playful with them, dancing around and patting them on the head to play. It's enchanting to watch and happened 4 times just last week! 

I think maybe I need to be taking some of that stuff myself if that's how it makes you feel LOL.

Yes, I have noticed a difference particularly in my seniors also, my almost 14 year old girl feels fantastic and much more energy??  Are you giving it every day Abbynormal and how much to each by weight??  Reason I ask is I cut mine back a little to every other day, approx l/2 tablespoon?  Not sure if that is enough, may need to increase.  Shedding has cut down quite a bit though.  All results have been good so far.  Nan  Thx for sharing.

So do you do a tablespoon a day?

No coconut oil for my dogs then, LOL... no need for more energy!

Abby, thank you for sharing your experience.

I am giving about a small level teaspoon twice a day. I don't really bother about the weight they all get the same.

Yes, I think my old girl is just feeling really good and wants to share the joy! It's a real bonus :)

My girl likes the coconut oil from the bulk food store.  It smells like coconut as opposed to the other kind that doesn't have any smell. She weighs 86 pounds and gets two tablespoons a day. Loves it and her coat is like silk.  Hasn't conquered her shedding though.

The "smelly" kind of coconut oil is oil that is unrefined. When it i refined all the goodies as I call it, are removed from straining. I had to buy some refined from Wally the other day and I miss what unrefined oil gives like taste and that great smell.

GSDPACK:  It's not that much I mean I am talking an almost 14 year old;  so no nothing you couldn't handle or would not want for a workout or training session.

The benefits are tenfold, antimicrobial; anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti everything else I can't remember, but really the bene's are absolutely worth anything else you might get including great coats and less shedding.  All is good.  Thx  again for sharing,  Nan

Abby,were you using any kind of oil before?
