I have a dog with a thyroid condition. His fur has one stubborn patch that would not grow fur. A friend of mine suggested giving him Virgin Coconut Oil from the Health Store so I tried it out.... I can't believe it but he is growing new hair in that patch! We've tried everything in the book but this is working! Virgin Coconut Oil has shown great results in studies on stabalizing the thyroid. If your dog is overweight or underweight....I would suggest giving this natural remedy a try.

Chichi is about 15 pounds and I give him about one tablespoon a day. Princess is about 7 pounds and I give her a teaspoon a day and it makes her coat incredibly shiney! I went to a page online that was talking about dosages for animals and it was in that range.

Here is a link about Virgin Coconut Oil and Pet Nutrition http://www.tropicaltraditions.com/pet_nutrition.htm
This isn't the brand that I use...I go to Big Bear Heath Food store and buy the jars of NOW Virgin Coconut Oil. It is about $7.00 for a jar that should last you a few weeks if not a month.
