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?

We stopped vaccinating our bloodhound when he almost bled out after too many shots at once. Steroids saved him. Our vet staggers them now and we have the option of the titer testing if we desire. Genesis, which is a cortisoid, worked very well but has a limited duration. He's shown vast improvement on the steroids but is still reacting to whatever contact allergen it is. He only does this during pollen season-never an issue over most of the fall, winter, and early spring. Otherwise, he's healthy, happy, energetic and has no issues. Our other Springer, same diet, has no issues. Similar breeding (Jake's dad and Jesse's mom are brother and sister) but only issues with Jesse.
