Coconut Question

Hiya Everyone

So whilst I was shopping the other day I found Otis a coconut which I plan to give him this weekend - Just wanted to know is there any part of it we need to remove first, like the hair on the coconut etc?

Thank you and I will post pictures after he has demolished it

Hi Sarah, I have seen a few photos on here recently where they didn't remove the hair on the coconut, im sure its harmless if they are supervised but im not 100% sure. Hopefully someone will be along soon to give better advice

Nope the hair is fine and acts as a good dental floss. I do supervise though just in case it were to get stuck. My two get the entire coconut and once they've drank the water and scraped out the delicious flesh that tend to discard the hard shell. Their best bit is pulling at the hairy bits! Be sure to get some delicious coconutty kisses afterwards

I've never given any dog a coconut so sorry cannot really help. I would remember that they are very high in fibre though. 

Hehe Okies thank you everyone Good tip about the fibre - definitely would only give as a every now and then treat... He absolutely loved it - I will post some pictures in a little while

Aww in going to get darcy one when I go shopping, can't wait to see the pics

Luckily fibre wasn't an issue for my two BUT it was the first time Vinny's ever eaten his own poop. Mustn't have wanted to waste a bit of coconut!!

be carefull inside as they can fling them about and a coconut flying toward towards your tv gets your heart racing. to prolong the intrest you can drill out the eyes so they can smell the flesh inside. clean up after each play time as the shell is sharp and not nice to bare feet in the night. i let mine play with them as i buy them hair and all which they love ripping off and then going to work on getting inside.

I am gonna give this a try with my boy thanks

Jenson had the lot ... I stayed with him the whole time ... he still munchin on some of the shell which hes kept but the rest has all gone. Look forward to seein the pics ... they love coconut
