This intrigued me as my one vet had told me negative things about coconut oil and this vet is saying the opposite. So, I decided to do some research and as to why one vet said one thing and another the opposite and came up with some interesting facts which made me realize how important coconut oil can be for pets. Before trying\u00a0 please ask your vet as rather be safe than sorry as some supplements might have the opposite affect on your dog.<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank Charisa from CocoTherapy for helping me with all the information that I am sharing plus the products that I am trying with Nili.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In small quantities it is good for the pet as it is good fat which is important to remember when we worry about cholesterol in our pets. Coconut oil is considered a low cholesterol fat and does not increase cholesterol levels.<\/li>\n<li>You can read more about it on this link : <strong>A Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Cholesterol<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cocotherapy.com\/blogs\/blog\/a-beginners-guide-to-cholesterol?_pos=1&amp;_psq=cholesterol&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0\">https:\/\/www.cocotherapy.com\/blogs\/blog\/a-beginners-guide-to-cholesterol?_pos=1&amp;_psq=cholesterol&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Coconut oil has lauric acid which has antimicrobial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.\u00a0 which is good for the fur and skin. When applied to the skin it can help soothe the inflamed area.<\/li>\n<li>Coconut oil is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.calories.info\/food\/vegetable-oils\">lower in calories <\/a>than many other cooking oils, and it&#8217;s actually an effective weight loss aid. The MCTs in coconut oil are metabolized quickly and used for energy, rather than being stored as fat. This helps boost metabolism and aids in weight management. What&#8217;s more, coconut oil can help suppress appetite. All fats slow down the emptying of the stomach, helping you feel full for longer, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jn\/article\/132\/3\/329\/4687297\">studies<\/a>\u00a0have shown that MCTs have a greater satiating effect than LCTs. This means that coconut oil can help your pet feel fuller for longer and prevent them from overeating.<\/li>\n<li>It helps fight bad breath, mouth and gum health.<\/li>\n<li>It also helps digestions but like any supplement ask your vet first.<\/li>\n<li>Here is some more information: <strong>Coconut Oil Myths and Facts<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cocotherapy.com\/blogs\/blog\/coconut-oil-myths-and-facts?_pos=4&amp;_psq=cholesterol&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0\">https:\/\/www.cocotherapy.com\/blogs\/blog\/coconut-oil-myths-and-facts?_pos=4&amp;_psq=cholesterol&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I am doing this coconut oil blog in two episodes as I am reviewing different products from them but what I have tried with Nili at this moment I have seen a big difference in her, she is scratching less so her skin issues seem to be clearing up, she is eating less which is great as she needs to lose 2 lbs plus I love their treat gems which are kibble size so she is getting one each time she is good and gobbles them up plus they fit in here kong which she is addicted to.
