so i bought a jar of coconut oil today to put in butler's food in hopes of moisturizing his skin cause he is a little flaky right now.

i put some in his food and i've read some incredible things about it, so i am excited to see the results. butler loves it, and...

i'm a sucker for coconut anything so i am rubbing this oil on myself, eating it, sniffing it, putting it on my lips! i feel like a lunatic!:p

Is it to put in his food? Let me know how it works and where to get it :up: I heard great things too but I always assumed you put it on them, not in them. I am probably such a moron!! Lol

fish breath was my main motivation to use coconut oil. lol! [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] you can feed it to them and apply it topically. i put some on his back before his bath to moisturize his skin. he kept smelling it and turning in circles trying to find and eat the smell.
[MENTION=355]gatorfan85[/MENTION] I haven't had any experience with yeast since Butler takes diflucan for his valley fever. i will let you all know how it helps his skin.

Hmmm.... I thought it was to put on them too. Back when Ida first got a red face, I got a jar of coconut oil (at Wal-Mart, believe it or not!), because I thought it was yeast. I haven't used it on her. Just have it on hand in case someone gets yeasty. I do the wild salmon oil, but the girls don't have fish breath. I thought they only smell like fish if you give codliver oil? Gosh, I hope this new (thicker, darker) salmon oil doesn't give them fish smell! :eek:

I guess it's good for humans and dogs to eat. it has "medium chain fatty acids "that are supposed to be awesome for your heart and all your cells. blah blah blah, I'll have to post the articles here.:lol: I can't explain the science behind it. i just know both of us love it!

hMM.. I would deff love to know if the coconut oil works wonders. I also give my bullies Salmon WhiteFish Oil which has made such an improvment on there skin! But after they're done eatin, they kinda have that yucky cerial smell from the oil. And I would imagine coconut would smell yummier then the salmon! lol! Keep us updated on it! :D

On our wedding night we stayed at a motel with a whirlpool suite and " romance " package. Part of the package was chocolates on the nightstands. An assortment of four different types. There was one there that looked like a peanut butter cup and I really don't care for those much, so I gave it to Bruce. He jumped up and ran to the bathroom and spit it out shouting " it's poison, it's poison!". As it turned out it was a coconut cup not a peanut butter cup. I found it rather hilarious, him, not so much. So now he always tells people I tried to poison him on our wedding night.

BTW.....I know they now say that coconut shampoo is a good way to prevent kids from getting head lice. I wonder if it could/would help with eliminating/treating the type of mites that cause mange?:idea::idea::idea:
