Coconut Oil - The Newest Miracle In A Jar

Coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid. This means that it is used immediately in the body as energy without circulating into the bloodstream as fat. It contains no cholesterol. It is full of lauric acid. Lauric acid is famous for its anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties. Therefore coconut oil can kill harmful bacteria, viruses, yeast, fungi and parasites. It stimulates and strengthens the immune system and acts as an anti-inflammatory. This miracle in a jar kills ear mites and supports a healthy intestinal system.

Dogs with flea allergies, contact dermatitis or other allergic reactions typically stop scratching soon after coconut oil is added to their food, and dogs treated topically for bites, stings, ear mites, ear infections, cuts or wounds recover quickly. Coconut gently elevates the metabolism, provides a higher level of energy and vitality, speeds healing and can help overweight pets lose weight and sedentary pets feel more energetic. As a bonus, coconut enhances the skin and coat, improves digestion and reduces allergic reactions.

How to Administer

The recommended daily maintenance is 1 teaspoon of coconut oil per 10 pounds of body weight given in divided doses, or 1 tablespoon per 30 pounds. Always start with the smaller amount and increase gradually. Always provide extra fluids to help flush toxins from the body. Make an effort to purchase coconut oil in a glass jar.

Coconut oil is not the only coconut product good for pets. Fresh coconuts or raw dehydrated coconut provides the same health benefits. Not only does it contain lauric acid, but the coconut meat is extremely high in fiber. Make sure the coconut flakes are raw, and free from salt, preservatives or sugar.
