Coconut oil for dog's skin?

If you decide to get coconut oil, the dosage is 1/2-1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight. Start with an even smaller dose to avoid tummy upset. Some dogs get loose stool if started on a higher dose. It can be gradually increased, if the dog tolerates it well. I'd recommend organic extra-virgin coconut oil. It can be bought at places like Vitamin Shoppe (which carries its own brand at a lower price).

I tried it with my allergy dog, Maddie, b/c I'd heard it helps with allergies, but she doesn't like the taste. Too bad - most dogs love it!
