Virgin Coconut Oil for Pets

I have written a couple of articles on the wonders of coconut oil and plan to write a few more in the future. I write about virgin coconut oil because it has been known to reduce the risk of many major diseases. It prevents the flu in the winter months and boosts immunity. It enhances metabolism. It contains a healthy fat that fights heart disease and hardening of the arteries and so much more. It has so many properties health-wise for humans. It also has great benefits for animals as well. These benefits have been seen by many pet owners that have given their animals the oil.

First things first; my little chihuahua loves the stuff. When I drizzle it over her food; she laps it up first; wet food second dry food last of course. I personally find the stuff almost disgusting to taste and have to prepare it only in certain ways to eat it myself (please view my Associated Content article: "Arghh!! Virgin Coconut Oil Recipes"). But, she loves it straight and prefers it over many of her treats. Since she's so little; I only give her like 1-3 tablespoons a week. I don't want to overdo it. But, she loves it and it seems to really make her happy. She's more active since

I've been giving it to her and she's much less sedentary. It also improves her coat. You will find many testimonials online from pet lovers that will say the same thing about their dogs and cats and other animals that have used the product. Currently my pet does not have any major health problems; so I haven't noticed any differences or major improvements like other pet owners have. Some of them state that their dogs and other animals have had bone problems; life threatening diseases and other such things that dramatically effect a pet's life.

They have noted that when giving the pet virgin coconut oil on a regular basis that the animals have become completely active and practically healed by layman's standards and by veterinarian standards. This is promising news to pet owners with a sick animal.

Overall, virgin coconut oil is safe to give to animals in their food as long as it's not given in excess. Most pet owners say that at minimum; regular use can provide your animal with a shiny coat; increased energy and a noticeable improvement in health condition. In addition; it's another special way to bond with your pet. Not only are you giving him/her a treat; but you're giving him/her a treat that will make them feel significantly better. What better way to show your animal how you care?
