The AWESOME Jodi Chick (or as she calls me, the other Jodi) over at Kol’s Notes recently did a review of coconut oil.
If your unfamiliar with coconut oil it’s really not like an oil at all. It comes as a solid and liquefies at 70 degrees farenheit.
I’ve been giving Sampson and Delilah coconut oil once a day now for about two months, I started it because they were itchy in the fall. It was recommended by my raw food mentor, Sandy who thought they might be itchy from…acorns.
She explained that acorns have mold (which explains why squirrels are so freaking crazy) and when the acorns drop they crack and the mold spores escape. If the dogs lay outside on the acorns or walk through them, they can ingest some of the mold.
Sandy suggested Salmon oil and coconut oil to help with the itching. And that is when I discovered just exactly how beneficial coconut oil is for EVERYONE, not just dogs. Check out some of the benefits of coconut oil here.
In fact I have replaced Crisco with coconut oil for baking. When a recipe calls for ‘greasing the pan’ I use coconut oil, I’ve even done stir fry with coconut oil. Vegetable oil is not welcome in my home anymore!
I love my dogs and want what’s best for them, and what I really like best about the coconut oil is it’s something I can buy that is not just for us, and not just for the dogs.
AND it is beneficial to all of us.
