I have personally used Coconut Oil for years. I cook with it and use it as a body moisturizer. Populations that consume a lot of Coconut Oil are some of the healthiest people in the world. It helps to increase energy expenditure and burn more fat. Coconut Oil can reduce hunger, improve blood cholesterol levels and topically—is a great moisturizer and sunscreen.

Have trouble giving your dog a pill? Try hiding the pill inside Coconut Oil. Dogs will usually eat it right from the spoon.
Pet Maintenance dose: 1 teaspoon daily for every 10 – 20 pounds

All we know coconut oil is best for our health, but this is my first time to read that it is also better for the health of our dog. I think I need to try this one for our dog at home and I'm sure she will become healthier. I wish you can help me also to understand what is Vets in Weston. Thank you very much and keep sharing!.
