Don't use it. Never tried it. Maybe in the future.

I started using it a few months ago. I also like using it on dry noses because I can put plenty on there and really rub it in good. Little tiny pieces of nose hyper keratosis come off (the dry scaly part) when I rub it on and their nose starts looking smooth again after a couple of weeks. It also makes their coats even more sleek and shiny!

I have been adding a 1/2 teaspoon a day to Rosie's Fromm puppy food. She absolutely loves it and her coat is soo soft. She is not quiet 10 lbs. yet to give her a full teaspoon.

Yes! Valentina gets a teaspoon with her dinner every evening. She's been getting it since I first got her so I'm not sure of the incremental benefits but friends of mine with Frenchies swear by it. They have 2 who both had skin issues and the coconut oil was the only thing to help.

I 100% use coconut oil on my Rico, both internally and topically. It has great benefits for dogs and humans. I use it on his dry nose and rub a small amount throughout his coat, paws, wrinkles and outter ears after his monthly baths and he gets a teaspoon in his food daily. I get the big tub from Costco and get the Kirkland brand. It’s coldpressed, organic and virgin which is all very important to look for in a quality coconut oil.
