UPDATE: Justbought a jar for my neighbor's new pup with excema. This pup's coat look a lot healthier after 1 St application & lik my dog, loves the taste...no digestive problems if the lick or even eat it!
Surprising how nice this "semi-hard butter like" oil is. I'm still evaluating after 2 weeks but seems my Aussie's foot & nail biting is much less. He has been on Apoquel (serious anti-inflammatory K9 only med) which works on the itch but not completely. After started scraping this butter on a tongue blade then my finger, I applied it inside in-between his paws/pads & inner thighs where he's had skin inflammation from a likely grass allergy. Since we used this coconut butter he's definitely not scratching as horribly as he did just a week before. It does seem to be this coconut butter that's helping. I've also used it on the OUTER EARS--not into the inner part of his outer ear....just around the ear flap. I'm using other Vet prescribed medicated ear wash & meds deep in his ears 1 time/week. This butter IS SAFE FOR DOGS TO INGEST. In fact, he love licking a bit from my finger. I'd suggest though, using a tongue blade to scrape off the coconut butter from the jar, THEN putting on clean fingers for application to various parts of body. My dog's got major allergies & I don't want to cross contaminate the jar contents between different body part applications. Besides his feet/pad ear flaps & inner thighs where the skins so inflamed, my vet said its okay to put it around his inflamed itchy anus--OF COURSE when I do this I take just the amount needed on a clean tongue blade then apply it. I never put my fingers into jar without washing my hands before each application site.
Overall it does seem to relieve inflamed areas' that are terribly itching. It smells very nice with a hint of coconut. I may order a jar for myself as after I have it on my hands & fingers, they are smooth even waterproof! Good stuff.

I love this stuff, works wonders for my dogs, and on people as well. Non toxic so if your dog licks it, it's no big deal. Has help my pittbull with her ears, paws, and other skin issues she has had since being rescued. Will definitely be buying more when this jar runs out. A little goes a long ways! Definitely worth it!!

I purchased this as a topical ointment to be used on my German Short Haired Pointers pads. They are not sore nor are they broken or cuts; what they are is rough!! Rough every time he jumps on or off my lap dragging his feet on my legs "“ ouch! So I thought I try this assuming it was a topical ointment however the instructions on the bottle make is seem much more like an oral supplement. Instructions: Dogs start with ¼ teaspoon per day and gradually build up to 1 teaspoon per 10 pounds of body weight daily. I still use this topically on his rough pads but now I do not worry when he licks it off. I figure it will help either externally or internally. This is a product of the Philippines; USDA certificate organic (whatever that means). If you pet is overweight, you will want to make sure they do not get too much of this as each teaspoon has a 120 calories. This is a 16 ounce bottle of 100% pure raw organic virgin coconut oil from the Philippines. I have been using this for my year old dog now for about 4 weeks, not every day, but at least a couple times per week and applying to his pads. He might be licking off a total of a teaspoon or less each treatment, his paws pads do feel better against my legs and it has not seemed to bother his GI system at all.

I use on my fluffy French bulldog coat after bath time it all the way soothes and provides shine to there coats

Received the Pet Zone Coconut Oil for Dogs very quickly. It was in wide mouth plastic jar and was very tightly sealed (no leaks in shipping). Had to get my husband, the jar opener, to open it for me. A nice plus is an expiration date on the jar. The jar I bought 7/2016 has expiration date of 9/2018. Many animal products don't have expiration dates. Has a light, pleasant odor. It is USDA certified organic and 100% pure, raw, coconut oil. Yeah! No added chemicals, perfumes, colors, or fillers. I prefer organic, pure products for myself, and I try to find similar products for my pets.

Having used coconut oil myself for all kinds flaking skin problems, I was excited to see that it was available for my pets. (Don't know why I had not looked for this before now.) When put in their food or rubbed on their bodies, the dogs did not mind the smell or the taste. I think this is going to be a great additional to my pet medicine chest to use for dry, cracked noses and paws, sore skin spots, and to use internally for just general good health.

Disclosure: I did receive these at a reduced cost (and sometimes for free) in exchange for my review of the product. I am an avid Amazon customer. I depend on the reviews that others have posted when I make buying decisions.
