Good info. I think I will go buy some and try it. I may even share with the dogs. How much does a person use and how many calories are we talking per serving. ________________________________ From: Jen Proud <proudk9@xxxxxxxxx> To: "terrycochran97756@xxxxxxxxx" <terrycochran97756@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Cherpa <cherpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "inquestgsd@xxxxxxx" <inquestgsd@xxxxxxx>; "bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx" <bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx>; "candiasgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <candiasgsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; "showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 10:31 PM Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Supplements > On Mar 15, 2014, at 23:02, Terry Cochran <terrycochran97756@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I guess the question would be does the dog have the ability to brake it down > and use it. > Terry Coconut oil IS utilizable by dogs. It is most excellent for soothing/coating/moisturizing both the digestive tract and the skin/coat. Flax oil is NOT utilizable by dogs (nor cats) like fish oil is (to get those wonderful omega fatty acids). Coconut oil is an excellent choice for dogs with hot skin & oily coats and is a great substitute for cod liver oil (fish oils) in those cases. Coconut oil is good for kidney support (for those with kidney compromised animals), for liver detox ( us too!), can help with gastric reflux, and did I say it was great for the skin & coat? ;) Coconut oil can even be applied to dry-noses (such as in the senior dog with crusty dry nose edges) and doesn't go sticky like fish oil does- plus it tastes great even to humans. And here I always wondered why The Pack always loves getting my leftover rice & peas (made the Jamaican way with high oil coconut milk!).... Jen P & the Pack saying you're making rice & peas Mima?!?
