Many of the health benefits of coconut oil for humans also
apply to animals. From a past post:
“Coconuts are an excellent source of nutrition and have
healthful meat, juice, and oil. The oil is arguably the most nutritious and has
many health benefits. Coconut oil is over 90% saturated fat and has
antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.
Coconut oil also has antioxidant properties and it helps in
the absorption of other minerals.
Coconut oil is an incredible source of medium chain fatty
acids (MCFAs), which have been shown to have many health benefits.
Lauric acid in coconut oil in combination with oregano
oil, has even been found more effective
in fighting the staph bacteria than antibiotics. Lauric acid has also been
shown to be preventative against some cancers. Coconut Oil is over 40% lauric
acid, the richest source naturally available.”
