Not sure about your question. Are you asking about the benefits to the dog or why it works? I'm not sure why it works if that is what you are asking. I read an article over a year ago in a dog magazine and the benefits to the dogs so I decided to try it. And since then, I have seen that it cuts down on the "doggie smell" and for some, it keeps it away. As well as with dog breath. I have also seen an improvement in the dogs that have dry coats, their soat gets a shine back and they don't have a problem with dry, itchy skin. And the same for joint mobility. Instead of giving Glucosamine to my old dog "Paw", I used the double dose of the coconut oil and it really helped improve him mobility. I'm not sure if I have the article any longer, but if I can find it, I will be happy to send it to you.Katherine Heckman, Vice -Pres.Last Hope, Safe HavenDonations may be made to:Paypal via Windwych@xxxxxxxxx"Life is too short for drama & petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truely & forgive quickly."

(You can also buy it in capsules if they won't eat the solid, but I haven't had that problem.)I give them about 1 TBSP. a day with their food, and it has really helped with doggie smell and doggie breath, not to mention it has a ton of other benefits for their health. You can buy it a GNC stores. Just make sure you get the unprocessed coconut oil. And it's good for you too! It takes about a week or so to really see a difference, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone.Hope this helps!Katherine Heckman, Vice -Pres.Last Hope, Safe HavenDonations may be made to:Paypal via Windwych@xxxxxxxxx"Life is too short for drama & petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truely & forgive quickly."> From: Falkrigia@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 10:52:07 -0500> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] 'Old dog' odor> To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; Germanshepherds4Show@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Does anyone have a solution for the body odor that old dogs seem to get?
