Book Description
We all love to pamper our pets and sometimes they also need a little extra TLC. But did you know there's an amazing natural ingredient you can use to indulge your dog or cat? You actually may already have it in your kitchen. It's coconut oil! The health benefits of coconut oil for humans have been well documented. However, not everyone knows about the health benefits of coconut oil for dogs and cats. In fact, coconut oil is not only good just for dogs and cats, but it can be used on any animal. So, how can you spoil your pet with this amazing natural product?I started researching ways to use coconut oil for pets when our cat went crazy trying to eat food from our plates every time I cooked with coconut oil. Turns out that coconut oil can help aid pets' digestion, improve their coats, help prevent infection and more. Carnivorous animals like cats and dogs would have consumed a high amount of saturated fat in the wild and the beneficial fats in coconut oil are a great way to make sure they are getting enough in their diets. Our pets also receive a partially raw meat diet to help keep them healthy.It can be given internally or applied externally, and can provide remedies for many skin infections. It can disinfect cuts and improve your dog's general skin and coat condition, making it healthier. Wounds also heal faster with coconut oil, and it helps to deodorize your dog's skin and clear up some rashes as well. And unlike most herbal products that are good for your dog's health, coconut is something that your dog will most probably love to eat. They will most likely gobble up the coconut oil and not be too picky with it. Just as humans can get a bit nutty for coconut, so can our beloved buddies. Mix it with their food - it has cured many picky eaters. Many vets and researchers today are recommending the regular use of coconut oil for dogs and many other pets as an excellent source of nutrients, which keeps your dog in good health.In the past, it was my staunch opinion that all pet owners should have a jar of cold-pressed organic virgin coconut oil on hand for use with their pets' healthcare and for themselves as well. The substance is touted as having multiple benefits that are well known among "alternative" medicine enthusiasts and nutritionists, having been documented with convincing anecdotal and scientific evidence. I still find coconut oil to be of value for animals, just as other 'natural' products such as honey (used for wound care) or aloe vera can be.
