Coconut Oil Benefits:
There are quite a few benefits that come with coconut oil, and some may even surprise you. Here’s a list of some of the benefits:
There is a common notion that since coconut oil has a high fat content it is therefore unhealthy for your dogs. This is not true with coconut oil. Coconut oil is considered a “good fat” as it contains MCT’s (also know as Medium Chain Triglycerides). MCT’s provide numerous health benefits to us and our furbabies, and are a natural component of many foods such as palm kernel oil, milk, and cheese. Coconut Oil is also more than 90% saturated fat and it is one of the few super foods[1]. These are some of the reasons why we are confident in using coconut oil in our treats.
