ABOUT TODAYS VIDEO: Fish Oil For Dogs vs Coconut Oil
Which one is better for your dog, coconut oil or fish oil? Both oils have excellent nutritional properties for dogs, so let's have a look at both.

When you add coconut oil to your dogs food, its acids (capric, caprylic and lauric), break down the cell wall of yeast fungus, causing it die.

The best form of coconut oil is called MCT oil, and made from coconut oil. It has all the benefits without the main downside of coconut oil which is it's high saturated fat content, which has been researched recently to be inflammatory. MCT oil bypasses this problem.

So it's better to use MCT oil combined with an Omega 3 supplement such as hemp oil to increase the cognitive abilities of older dogs and help slow the aging process plus boost your dogs brain function to be sharper, more aware with greater perception, reasoning and judgment.

So start by giving a 1/8th tsp of MCT oil to small dogs, 1/4stp to medium dogs and 1/2tsp to large dogs. And for hemp oil, give 1/4tsp to small dogs, 3/4tsp to medium dogs and 2tsp to large dogs daily. Remember to start oils small and slow and build up over a week to avoid diarrhea. Anything new in the diet must always start small and slow.

Coconut water is also a great way to get some electrolytes and rehydration into your dog, especially through the summer months for kibble fed dogs that have little option beyond tap water. They need more moisture in their bodies due the dehydrating effects of dry food and that they don't take on enough rehydration to compensate causing stress on the liver, kidneys and other internal organs. Dogs love coconut water, it's healthy for them and they'll drink lots of it, feeling much better in the process.

EPA and DHA in fish oil improve brain activity and help enhance eye health. DHA forms part of the tissue in the brain and retina of the eyes. It helps to form neurotransmitters, important to brain function.

Omega-3 fatty acids help improve arthritis symptoms for greater mobility and reduced inflammation.

Both oils have similarities and differences and both have good nutritional benefits for your dog. However, because fish oil is so volatile from long storage times, exposure to oxygen in the air, heat degrades it and potential mercury contamination, and even light alters it's characteristics, it's highly recommended to use a stable oil like hemp or flax oil that carry all the advantages but none of the disadvantages.

Alternating MCT oil with a stable hemp oil can provide your dog with the advantages of both oils while ensuring your dog gets variety and extra nutritional support.

Great to know that the coconut water i give my Bichon frise is doing him good. He drinks very little water and bichons are prone to kidney stones, but i had no idea of the other benefits. Thank you.

Really appreciate your detailed & thorough discussion on oils for dogs. You always hear, check with your vet first, never found one yet who seemed knowledgeable or seeming to care in the slightest about nutrition. My older girl is genetically predisposed to seizures and had a couple which was terrifying for me. She quickly got over them. Anyway I was recommended to try MCT oil to avoid the seizures so she has been getting this for several years. I was glad to hear about hemp oil for cognition bc she is now 8. So will be trying this as well. Thank you for your suggestion.

I'm so pleased I found your channel, thank-you..

Given the amount of scientific terminology in this video, it could easily have gone sideways. Your pace and clarity of speech, along with brief expansion after each new tidbit of information kept it within the grasp of the layperson. I preach this approach to all my presentation students. Another first-rate video, Dan.

Thank you so much for this video. I've tried salmon oil, flaxseed oil and algae to help with my dog's itching with no results. I've ordered some coconut oil to see if that'll help instead - if not, then I'll give MCT oil a try.

I took your advice months back and started giving my pup Hempseed oil! But I do give her a tumeric supplement from Zesty Paws and they add coconut oil to it. Hope that's not a problem!

again, another useful video. thanks !

I’m curious as to why just MCT oil vs coconut oil? I thought fat was good for us? Is it not good for dogs? Now isn’t MCT oil higher in MCT than in coconut oil? Which might be better for canine diabetes? I have both at home right now. I’ll be hiring you early next month. I’ve been doing the primilix, greens, etc you recommended for close to a month. The problem I’m facing is checking Lizzie’s blood sugar. The Traks device doesn’t give us a very good blood sample. We aren’t able to see where her sugar levels are. So she’s still taking the full dose of insulin.

I give my 10lb dog 1 t. Coconut oil orally every other day and add 1/8 T. of ground Flaxseed in her food for the Omega 3 & to add fiber to her homemade food👌

I use coconut oil and baking soda mix to brush my greyhound’s teeth. Can MCT oil be used instead with same benefits?

Hello from America! I'm doing some rapid changes and additions for my 70 pound German shepherd who's been suffering seizures over the past couple of years. The things that confuse me about these oils is that everyone always says start low, which I do, but how high up do I go on a dosage per day? In other words, if I'm giving MCT oil to my German Shepherd and start off with 1/2 teaspoon daily, what would be my goal dosage per day for him? Same thing with omega 3 oils? I don't want to burden his system too much but I also want to make sure that he's in fact getting enough of these supplements? I'll also be adding your green vibrants but I forget how much dosage that was as well for a large dog?? It's time to heal my boy of this nasty thing!🙏❤

[bhilburn]

Would the flax oil be the same amount for a medium dog instead of the hemp? In the food put each in a day or alternate? Starting slow should the smallest amount be given and build up to the recommended?

[ANI]

Hello I started making my own dog food, I use nupro. Do I need to add mct oil, hemp seed oil, probiotic, flaxseed, and eggs with shell. I just want to get it right and you know what your talking about. Sorry for the long paragraph 😅

[monicaalford]

this video is awsome passing this along & would love to order some of your products 💞💞

[Chucklessmiles]

Can I substitute coconut oil instead of olive oil topically for yeast infection?🎉

[niiaD]

Would you recommend hemp oil, if I already give my dog cbd? Thank you 🐶

[zealshah]

How can we feed this? Can we add coconut oil and hemp oil in homemade cookies?

[terririley]

Should the hemp oil and MCT oil be alternated daily or both given each day. Also, you say start slowly and then build up. Are the recommended amounts the starting or ending amounts?

[s-ssiva]

how about the Cod-liver oil for dogs. is there any side effect . thanks
