If you knew of one easy-to-give super food that your dog and cat would enjoy and could offer numerous health benefits that could improve his or her quality of life, would you want to know about it?

Sure. We all would.

So meet coconut oil. Not many foods or nutritional supplements can make all these claims from one simple food supplement. In addition to its many other health benefits, coconut oil is reported to be:

Anti-bacterial - Can help kill harmful bacteria and fight infection
Anti-viral - Can help kill harmful viruses that cause illness
Anti-fungal - Can help eliminate ringworm, candidiasis, and yeast infections.
Anti-parasitic - Can help kill tapeworms, lice, giardia and other parasites.

According to the Coconut Research Center, coconut (cocos nucifera) oil has been used in humans to treat everything from abscesses, asthma, baldness, bronchitis, bruises, burns, colds, constipation, cough, dropsy, dysentery, earache, fever, flu, gingivitis, gonorrhea, irregular or painful menstruation, jaundice, kidney stones, lice, malnutrition, nausea, rash, scabies, scurvy, skin infections, sore throat, swelling, syphilis, toothache, tuberculosis, tumors, typhoid, ulcers, upset stomach, weakness, and wounds. Often nutritional substances that offer health benefits to human offer similar health benefits to pets.

Coconut oil is reported to increase immunity and help fight off many illnesses ranging from cancer to dental cavities. It may provide relief from kidney problems, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, cancer and osteoporosis.

Many nutritionists and holistic physicians believe that both people and pets should use coconut oil in their diets regularly.

(Did you know our hand-made, gourmet fresh-baked dog cookies are made with coconut oil? It costs us a little more to make them but these are for the REALLY good girls and good boys and they're worth it. Also have birthday cookies and "Prince" and "Princess" cookies. Yummy yogurt frosting is pink for girls, blue for boys. Check 'em out!)
(Nice try. Cookies are not a substitute for supplementing with coconut oil.) :)
