Coconut oil for dog's skin?
SIL swears by coconut oil for dog's skin and coat. Says it fights yeast infections and makes their coats soft and shiny. She mixes it with their food. Thoughts?

I'm not anti-raw diet. But I've been around long enough (and had enough dogs of my own and fostered and been friends with a lot more) to know that it's far from a miracle cure. And I remember a few dogs whose condition was worsened by a switch to a raw diet.
My own highly allergic dog was helped immensely by desensitization shots (immunotherapy). He went from an itchy, infected mess who tested allergic to 37 things to a dog who exhibits no symptoms of allergies at all.
