The powerful anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties in coconut oil assist with elimination of body odour and bad breath. Coconut oil will deodorise anything it touches and will make all those dog kisses smell better when used as a dietary supplement.

It also will make your fur baby glow, with a shiny and healthy looking coat.

Coconut oil can reduce or even clear up skin conditions such as eczema, flea allergies, contact dermatitis, itchy skin etc.

It contains powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal agents that help prevent infection and disease while nourishing and healing the skin.

Most importantly it will not irritate your pet’s delicate skin when used topically on cuts, bites, stings and infections. 

As a saturated fat consisting primarily of medium chain fatty acids (MCTs), it is not easily oxidised and does not cause harmful free radical damage.

For topical application, rub/massage into your pets skin several times a day.

The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) regulate and balance insulin promoting normal thyroid function. 

MCTs are easily digested and they increase the body’s metabolism thus providing energy and weight loss.

Coconut oil helps prevent and can aid control of diabetes.

It aids with arthritis and ligament problems that often come with over weight animals.

Some of the medium chain triglyceride (Lauric, Capric and Caprioc acids) in coconut oil possesses anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties.  These fatty acids may assist the horse’s immune system in fighting off viral and bacterial challenges, leading to improved overall gut health and a reduction in ulcers and laminitis, and overall wellbeing.

Fat is an important energy source for the high-performance horse. High-fat diets provide a safe, efficient energy source that will improve a horses’ performance, minimize the risk of colic and founder, and usually be more cost effective.

Non-heating Energy Source - fizzing generally comes from high starch/grain diets where there is a risk of starch overload into the hindgut. The risk of starch overload can be minimised by replacing some grain with oil, to provide energy.  Coconut oil provides a source of cool energy resulting in non ‘fizzy’ behaviour. 

Oil is very energy dense and yields about 2 ¼ times more energy than starch or protein.  This may be useful for a number of reasons including reduction in gut fill and feed intake required to sustain maintenance and exercise.

Coconut oil benefits arthritic like symptoms because of the potent anti-inflammatory properties of its medium-chain fatty acids. All of them help to reduce chronic inflammation in the system and support tissue healing and repair.

Coconut oil can be used to relieve the inflammation that is often brought on by arthritis. Massaging coconut oil into the affected joints will not only lessen the amount of inflammation that occurs, but it will also relieve the pain associated with the swelling.  Coconut oil adds strength to the bones and acts as an agent that soothes arthritis pain in the bones and joints.

Coconut oil contains medium chain triglycerides (MCT) that are easier to digest, absorb and utilise in comparison to the long-chain fatty acids found in other oils such as maize, soy, canola and rice-bran oil. MCT absorb directly into the portal blood and are transported to the liver. By comparison, long chain fatty acids are absorbed into the lymphatic’s and slowly transported to the liver. Further, MCT appear to behave more like glucose than other oils, meaning coconut oil provides a ready source of energy. Learn More

Research is on-going however several studies undertaken revealed that caprylic acid from coconut oil were highly effective in killing Salmonella Enteritis. Learn More
