8 Coconut Oil Dog Treat Recipes

While the Coconut oil craze is still in full force, it’s hardly surprising that we’d want to share those health benefits with our pets.

And why not?

Coconut oil aids your dogs with digestion, skin health, allergic reactions, doggy odor, joints and arthritis, and gives them a sleek, shiny coat. There’s loads of health benefits for them.

You could simply give them coconut oil, but what fun is that?

Instead we’ve come up with a list of the world’s easiest and tastiest homemade coconut oil dog treats. Exciting right?

My only recommendation is don’t go too crazy. While it has many health benefits – coconut oil is high in calories, so it could lead to a little extra belly fat. And too much at once may lead to upset stomachs and diarrhea.
