Coconut oil for your dog
Best Alternative for Their Health

Coconut oil for your dog- It is that time again. Hot/muggy weather awakening the allergens and fleas!

Bella, my dog, suffers from skin allergies. On top of this, she is prone to ear infections.

When she arrived here, she began scratching her skin and digging her ear. She had an ear infection and skin allergies.

The vet promptly put her on antibiotics and steroids. The steroids were to address the skin irritation. The antibiotics cleared her ear infection, but her skin continued to irritate her.

With her persistent scratching and discomfort from her skin, the vet suggested another round of steroids. Being hesitant to use more steroids, I opted to seek an alternative treatment.

I found coconut oil for dogs is alternative treatment I was searching for. It worked! Her skin began to clear and I saw here eyes light up. She felt great and loved the new treat, coconut oil!

Coconut Oil Dosage for Your Dog

1 tsp per 10 lbs of weight

1 tblsp per 30 lbs of weight

Gradually increase to maximum dosage. Example, A 100 lb dog would need approximately 3 1/2 tblsp a day. A 10 lb dog would need 1 tsp of coconut oil a day. These are general guidelines.If the stool becomes runny or has a greasy appearance, lower the dosage a bit. My dog Bella, an English Mastiff weighs 125 lbs. 2 tblsp a day are sufficient for her.

Mites

My experience with coconut oil for mites was with a cat. After hearing me talk of the miracle oil that helped bella, a friend brought their cat to see me.

She had been digging her ears and shaking her head. Looking in her ears, we saw black specks, a sure sign of mites.

I placed a small amount of the tropical oil in her ears, massaging it down into the canal. Wiping the ears out, huge amounts of debri came out.

Her disposition changed. Going from miserable to happy, the evidence was apparant.

The oil immediately relieved the symptoms. Taking a month to rid all the mites and eggs, she is a very happy kitty now.

Your pup will benefit in the same way. Coconut oil for your dogs ears is truly the way to go. Pleasant smell, and naturally, from nature.

Regardless of the causes of itching, this oil seems to calm the fiercest itch.
