Coconut oil is good stuff! I use it and the salmon oil both.

I just buy the Virgin Cold Pressed organic coconut oil from my local stores as we use it for us too. I often find it on sale, and Dr. Bonners is a good brand.

That bulk oils site has some good prices and if you can use a gallon or more of it that price is excellent --

Some of the benefits owners have reported include reduced or elimination of body odor and bad breath; healthier skin and elimination of rashes, itchiness, etc.; coats becoming shiny and healthy looking; improved energy; better digestion; reduction of excess weight; relief from arthritic-like symptoms; cleared-up infections; expulsion of worms; and improved overall health.

Coconut oil when applied topically aids in the healing of cuts, bites, stings, and infections.

Just be sure to slowly add a little amount of coconut oil to their daily diet as it works as a detox so too much at once can give your dog diarrhea. The most common type of coconut oil used by pet owners is virgin coconut oil (VCO), which is the type sold for human consumption.

A few useful links about it --

There are recent studies done on coconut oil and it enhances brain function too.

Dang SGC, great info. I have only been using Grizzly Alaska salmon oil with some olive oil every now and then. I need go back and research this more. I have read Jacks chapter on the oils many times but still need to go back in review. Jack uses a 3 oil mix I think. I believe salmon, wheat germ and something else maybe? So SGC, since the coconut oil is like a detoxifier how do you use it, everyday, 2 weeks on 2 off etc?

I'm glad the info was helpful… Here is the best place to buy the Wild Alaskan Salmon oil at $27.95 a gallon plus $9.95 shipping --

Much better deal than the Grizzly brand if you are using a lot and even if you only have one dog, they will send it in small bottles if you ask and it keeps pretty well.

I don't feed any wheat germ oil at all, from what I remember reading about it, it can be used more to help boost fertility in a male.

But with so many dogs not being able to tolerate grains, I tend to stay away from anything with wheat in it. So I only use the salmon oil and the coconut oil as they are both good and do different things.

My old dog was getting about 4-5 tablespoons of salmon oil and maybe 1 tablespoon of coconut oil every day, but she was old with arthritis and other ailments. With a young dog, I give both oils every day and start slow and work up to more. The salmon oil is better for them so I feed more of it.

I do give the coconut oil every day but less of it than the salmon oil. Coconut oil is not just a detoxifier, it does a lot more.

Those 2 are the main oils I feed, I also will feed some soil based probiotics, plain yogurt or kefir, and some apple cider vinegar too. Green tripe is also a good addition to a raw diet.

Here are some links with more about the oils --
