I put the GW coco oil on Miya for the first time today. She can't stop licking herself!! ahahahaha it's hilarious! I put some on my fingers and she loves it! So in between her licking my fingers and licking herself, she should stop itching! Also, Taji (kitty) loves the taste of it too!

I didn't know you could put coconut oil on their coat! What benefits does it have?

Just be careful, don't give too much or too often, it can give bad diarrhea.

Thanks for the info, I am going to try this on Mimi!

I knew that coconut oil was good for humans but I never thought about it for dogs. That is a great idea. Jaxx has been itching a bit lately. I figured it was probably the dry air due to winter.
I will have to go and find some coconut oil.

Is there any certain brand I should look for?
