There are so many benefits to using coconut oil that you’ll want to go read our post on A Dog’s View
It can help kill fungi, yeasts, ringworm and expel parasites. The one we like the best and offer here on Aspenbloom Pet Care is from Mountain Rose Herbs -it’s listed as a carrier oil. Here is some info:
Coconut Oil unrefined (Certified Organic)
(Cocos nucifera)
Method of extraction: Expeller Pressed/Unrefined
This is a truly spectacular oil with a deep, and mildly intoxicating scent of pure Coconut pulp.100% virgin expeller pressed and unrefined. Same benefits as our refined coconut oil, but more suitable for food use because of its nutritional value, and containing a higher fatty acid content.
