Treat Of The Week - Absolute Plus Coconut Oil for Pets
A couple of months ago, I started
to realise that Cole was having extremely flaky skin. Each scratch saw his black
coat covered in flakes of snow-like dandruff. Even the
vet-approved shampoo made the situation worse and I was desperate for a
solution. After getting opinions from a couple of friends and pet food
nutritionists, I was introduced to the idea of feeding him coconut oil to
alleviate Cole’s symptoms.

With coconut oil being a rich source of medium chain essential fatty acids, his skin started becoming more moisturised and his coat
gleamed like never before. A side effect was also the absence of what I would
like to call “big dog smell” and I kept thinking he did not need a bath (though
after two weeks, he sure needed one). Upon the advice from a couple of dog
breeders, I also started applying it to his coat and the compliments to how
Cole looked was endless. It was also during this time that I realised many homemade pet treats and bakeries also added coconut oil into their products.
As for Cory, this little tyke has
somewhat of a weak stomach, puking once in a while. But after being fed coconut
oil for two weeks, he has not vomited since.
There have also been claims that coconut
oil reduces the risk of cancer but have not been fully researched yet. Some
experts have also told me that coconut oil is ideal in boosting a dog’s
metabolism and keeping their weight under control. However, a couple of veterinarians advise against giving more than the recommended dosage as it could result in unhealthy weight gain - especially for inactive dogs.
THE WONG DOGS REVIEW
Okay, this is not really a treat
where I can decide when to give the boys. I truly believe that coconut oil
should supplement a dog’s meal. With so many benefits, it is hard to withhold it
from them – especially when they get so excited during meal times.
Cory and Cole recently started
their daily intake of Absolute Plus Coconut Oil for Pets from B2K Pet Products and I can definitely
say in the case of Cole, he is more excitable for his meals now. Yes, that
bugger of a Singapore Special has a slightly spoiled streak and has been known
to reject dry food when he is not in the mood. Due to the weather, I also realised a couple of hot spots on Cole which disappeared in a day when I applied Absolute Plus Coconut Oil for Pets.
Besides the expected gleaming coat and better digestion, I used the coconut oil to moisturise both Cory and Cole's paws due to them walking onpavements more often than soft grass.

A side effect I
realised is Cory being more agile than usual. Due to his minor limb issues, he
tends to “rabbit hop” now and then. A little research unveiled that
coconut oil is able to alleviate certain cases of arthritis and could possibly
have contributed to his recent level of activeness.
Unlike their previous bottle of coconut oil,
Absolute Plus’s contains raw virgin coconut oil, cold-pressed and 100%
organic. This means I have ease of mind that Absolute Plus Coconut Oil is a
rich and premium choice which has not been bleached, deodorised or refined.
Also, it being cold-pressed allows the coconut oil to be produced via a heat-controlled
environment, allowing it to retain the nutritional benefits which are otherwise
compromised due to high temperatures.
