Hi Debbie,
I am actually unsure on that. I would contact your veterinarian to get a definite answer before feeding it to your dog.
Thanks!

My dog had a severe pancreatic attack. We were told he couldn’t have fats any longer. Would that rule out Coconut oil?

Hi Shannon,
This is a great question. Begin slow, start with a tiny amount. Your dog needs to take time for their body to adjusts to the addition to their diet. If you start with the larger amount of coconut oil, your dog could react poorly. Side effects can include diarrhea or greasy stools.
Start with Small Amounts:
¼ teaspoon per day for small dogs and puppies.After you’ve let their body adjust, a general guideline for the optimal dose of coconut oil for dogs is about 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight daily.

How much do I give my 13 pound dog? And can you use any coconut oil?

This is fantastic! I love learning new benefits of coconut oil and finding treats that contain it. I do make a lot of treats with it but I did learn new benefits. Thank you!
