CocoTherapy....Island Love For Your Pampered Pet!
Numerous
benefits of coconut oil for pets have been reported and the growing
evidence is impressive. Accroding to Dr. Bruce Fife, certified
nutritionist and neturopathic doctor, coconut oil elevates the
metabolism, provides a higher level of energy and vitality, protects
from illness and speeds healing.
In
dogs, the medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil balance the thyroid,
helping overweight dogs lose weight and helping sedentary dogs feel
energetic. As a bonus, coconut oil improves any dog's skin and coat,
improves digestion, and reduces allergic reactions.
Fed regularly to pets, coconut oil may have multiple benefits:
