To be effective it needs to be virgin organic coconut oil, they aren't all the same!

I feed it everyday with their food, a good teaspoon full, if it makes their stool a bit loose start with smaller amounts and increase as they get used to it!

I also rub through their fur at times, it's also a natural suncream Big Grin

I buy this one:
