Coconut Oil
I've got the girls some coconut oil but it's solid. They're more than happy to lick it off a spoon but would it be better to melt it and mix it in with their food?

Re: Coconut Oil
Huge benefits from silky soft fur to wonderful breath. It's also good for the joints, hot spots, excema and much more!
I lump it on too, or sometimes massages it through the fur!

Re: Coconut Oil
I use it as a moisturiser, smells amazing!! Don't use it on your skin too often though ( once a week is enough) or it can cause spots due to the high levels of fat

Its high lauric acid content is said to be positively associated with reduction in bacterial infection.
Not all coconut oils are of high quality though - some are not intended for ingestion or consumption.

Re: Coconut Oil
Coconut oil needs to be virgin, organic non refined to be of the best quality and optimum benefits.
It is also a laxative for those not used to it, so it needs to be built up slowly. I give a tablespoon 3 times a week or daily when they need it, but they have been having it years now, so i'd start with half a teaspoon and go from there

Re: Coconut Oil
Can I just check, it can be kept in the cupboard, is that right? Hasn't got to go in the fridge? Mines solid in a jar.

Will be solid until the summer - then it hits its melting point.

Re: Coconut Oil
Takes two good washes to come out, put it on dry hair, never wet hair and leave on for about half an hour. Feels icky the first wash but it's like silk after the second!

Re: Coconut Oil
Any difference between the £6 jar at Tesco and the £2.25 KTC jar does anyone know? Ones virgin and ones not, does it make a difference to its uses? Would like some to moisturise Bane with.

Re: Coconut Oil
Yeah that's what your after, basically any one that's virgin ( snigger) and solid, it will melt at body temp anyway! Don't get the oil, it's crap and overpriced! That should do you for ages!
