Using Coconut Oil for a Dog’s Itchy Skin

The post Using Coconut Oil for a Dog’s Itchy Skin by Marybeth Bittel appeared first on Dogster. Copying over entire articles infringes on copyright laws. You may not be aware of it, but all of these articles were assigned, contracted and paid for, so they aren’t considered public domain. However, we appreciate that you like the article and would love it if you continued sharing just the first paragraph of an article, then linking out to the rest of the piece on Dogster.com.

These days, most people have heard about the natural goodness of coconut oil. But up until a few years ago, I never realized I could use coconut oil for dogs, particularly that I could use coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin. Sure, I knew plenty about the health advantages of products such as safflower and olive oils. But then coconut oil entered my life in a hugely helpful way, thanks to our rescue pup Maizy.

Using coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin — one success story

Coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin? Here’s how it works. Photography ©R.Tsubin | Getty Images.

Due to her hound heritage, Maizy is what I like to call a serial sniffer. She dissects the dog parks every spring, following the scents of squirrels, rabbits, other canines, and who knows what else. Often, she gets so enthralled with this activity that she barely responds to her own name.

One day, Maizy’s investigations led her straight into an overgrown thicket of weeds and wildflowers … and that led to an angry-looking rash along her ears and neck. The medication used to treat her skin left it overly dry, and I guess overly itchy as well. Because she scratched, and scratched, and scratched. After several sleep-deprived weeks of this prickly, pervasive problem — and after trying a series of medicated ointments and shampoos, to no avail — we finally visited a holistic vet.

His suggestion for using coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin surprised me. Treat this issue from the inside out, he said. That meant easing up on carbs and grains to minimize the yeast on Maizy’s skin. It also meant feeding her a serving of pure, virgin coconut oil every single day, and rubbing some onto her skin and fur. We tried this for a few weeks, and WOW. Not only did Maizy lose that yeasty, bag-o-Fritos “doggie” smell, her skin cleared up and her coat looked glossier than ever. Of course, the moment our other rescue pup, Grant, smelled the coconut oil, he wanted in on the action. So now they both reap coconut oil’s tasty benefits on a regular basis.

Why coconut oil for dogs? And why coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin?

So, what are the benefits of coconut oil for dogs, and coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin? According to integrative pet care expert Dr. Karen Becker, natural virgin coconut oil has antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal properties. That means it can reduce yeast and fungus on contact, both inside and out; and it’s also very healing for irritated skin, hot spots, abrasions and cracked paws. The “virgin” variety typically starts with fresh coconut meat, so it’s not subjected to chemical processes such as bleaching or filtering. This makes it safe for dogs, cats, and humans to ingest in appropriate amounts.

My vet cited Dr. Becker’s work, explaining that coconut oil is rich in a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) called lauric acid. This substance is most commonly found in the milk of mother mammals, and one of its primary functions is to boost the immune system. That’s why coconut oil is so effective at helping to clear up bacterial and viral infections. Like pumpkin, it can also soothe digestion and upset stomachs. And just as the vet predicted, it’s given both my dogs super-soft fur.

How to administer coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin — and other ailments

Now that we know that coconut oil could work to help a dog’s itchy skin, how do we give it to our dogs? Photography by Africa Studio / Shutterstock.

It’s always smart to start small when feeding your pup anything new — especially coconut oil, which my own dogs would gobble up without proper supervision. At my house, we began with about ¼ teaspoon and increased gradually to ½ teaspoon per dog, once or twice per day.

You can also:

Drizzle a bit over your pup’s food, because coconut oil liquefies easily at room temperature.

Mold a small blob around pills or tablets your pet might be otherwise tempted to refuse.

Rub a little between your palms, run it over your pet’s fur, and brush lightly. Work the rest into your own hands for serious skin-softening benefits.

Nutty Nuggets* — a treat featuring coconut oil for dogs

And here’s an easy recipe for a no-bake treat that’s a huge hit with Grant and Maizy because, naturally, it contains … coconut oil. You can refrigerate these yummy bites or freeze them and thaw as needed. They’re even safe for pet parents to sample. Ummm … not like I would know anything about that.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup coconut oil

2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter

3 tablespoons organic pumpkin or applesauce

2 to 2 ¾ cups oat, spelt, or quinoa flour

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Dash of cinnamon

Powdered peanut butter (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place coconut oil, peanut butter, pumpkin/applesauce, honey, vanilla and cinnamon into a large bowl. Stir until well-combined.

Begin adding flour about ¼ cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Keep adding until dough mixture is well-combined and pliable.��If the mixture becomes too stiff to work with, add a little more pumpkin or applesauce.

Spoon up the mixture in portions that are roughly the size of mini-meatballs. Shape these into a round or oblong pieces by rolling between your palms.

If desired, finish by rolling each piece in dry, powdered peanut butter to coat.

Arrange finished treats on a plate or pan lined with wax paper.

Refrigerate for at least one full hour before serving.

*A word of caution: Always check with your vet before feeding your pooch anything new. This is especially true if your dog already struggles with health issues such as kidney problems or pancreatitis. While natural and healthy, these Nutty Nuggets are high in fat and should be given as very occasional treats. They aren’t meant to replace your pet’s regular diet.

Nutty Nuggets* — a treat featuring coconut oil for dogs

Nutty Nuggets. Photography by Marybeth Bittel.

And here’s an easy recipe for a no-bake treat that’s a huge hit with Grant and Maizy because, naturally, it contains … coconut oil. You can refrigerate these yummy bites or freeze them and thaw as needed. They’re even safe for pet parents to sample. Ummm … not like I would know anything about that.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup coconut oil

2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter

3 tablespoons organic pumpkin or applesauce

2 to 2 ¾ cups oat, spelt, or quinoa flour

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Dash of cinnamon

Powdered peanut butter (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Place coconut oil, peanut butter, pumpkin/applesauce, honey, vanilla and cinnamon into a large bowl. Stir until well-combined.

Begin adding flour about ¼ cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Keep adding until dough mixture is well-combined and pliable. If the mixture becomes too stiff to work with, add a little more pumpkin or applesauce.

Spoon up the mixture in portions that are roughly the size of mini-meatballs. Shape these into a round or oblong pieces by rolling between your palms.

If desired, finish by rolling each piece in dry, powdered peanut butter to coat.

Arrange finished treats on a plate or pan lined with wax paper.

Refrigerate for at least one full hour before serving.

*A word of caution: Always check with your vet before feeding your pooch anything new. This is especially true if your dog already struggles with health issues such as kidney problems or pancreatitis. While natural and healthy, these Nutty Nuggets are high in fat and should be given as very occasional treats. They aren’t meant to replace your pet’s regular diet.

These days, most people have heard about the natural goodness of coconut oil. But up until a few years ago, I never realized I could use coconut oil for dogs, particularly that I could use coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin. Sure, I knew plenty about the health advantages of products such as safflower and olive oils. But then coconut oil entered my life in a hugely helpful way, thanks to our rescue pup Maizy.

Using coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin — one success story

Due to her hound heritage, Maizy is what I like to call a serial sniffer. She dissects the dog parks every spring, following the scents of squirrels, rabbits, other canines, and who knows what else. Often, she gets so enthralled with this activity that she barely responds to her own name.

One day, Maizy’s investigations led her straight into an overgrown thicket of weeds and wildflowers … and that led to an angry-looking rash along her ears and neck. The medication used to treat her skin left it overly dry, and I guess overly itchy as well. Because she scratched, and scratched, and scratched. After several sleep-deprived weeks of this prickly, pervasive problem — and after trying a series of medicated ointments and shampoos, to no avail — we finally visited a holistic vet.

His suggestion for using coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin surprised me. Treat this issue from the inside out, he said. That meant easing up on carbs and grains to minimize the yeast on Maizy’s skin. It also meant feeding her a serving of pure, virgin coconut oil every single day, and rubbing some onto her skin and fur. We tried this for a few weeks, and WOW. Not only did Maizy lose that yeasty, bag-o-Fritos “doggie” smell, her skin cleared up and her coat looked glossier than ever. Of course, the moment our other rescue pup, Grant, smelled the coconut oil, he wanted in on the action. So now they both reap coconut oil’s tasty benefits on a regular basis.

Why coconut oil for dogs? And why coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin?

So, what are the benefits of coconut oil for dogs, and coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin? According to integrative pet care expert Dr. Karen Becker, natural virgin coconut oil has antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal properties. That means it can reduce yeast and fungus on contact, both inside and out; and it’s also very healing for irritated skin, hot spots, abrasions and cracked paws. The “virgin” variety typically starts with fresh coconut meat, so it’s not subjected to chemical processes such as bleaching or filtering. This makes it safe for dogs, cats, and humans to ingest in appropriate amounts.

My vet cited Dr. Becker’s work, explaining that coconut oil is rich in a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) called lauric acid. This substance is most commonly found in the milk of mother mammals, and one of its primary functions is to boost the immune system. That’s why coconut oil is so effective at helping to clear up bacterial and viral infections. Like pumpkin, it can also soothe digestion and upset stomachs. And just as the vet predicted, it’s given both my dogs super-soft fur.

How to administer coconut oil for a dog’s itchy skin — and other ailments

Now that we know that coconut oil could work to help a dog’s itchy skin, how do we give it to our dogs? Photography by Africa Studio / Shutterstock.

It’s always smart to start small when feeding your pup anything new — especially coconut oil, which my own dogs would gobble up without proper supervision. At my house, we began with about 1/4 teaspoon and increased gradually to 1/2 teaspoon per dog, once or twice per day.

You can also:

Mold a small blob around pills or tablets your pet might be otherwise tempted to refuse.

Rub a little between your palms, run it over your pet’s fur, and brush lightly. Work the rest into your own hands for serious skin-softening benefits.

Slut in Shadows (Commission)

Here's a quickie for AlexisVelvet, who bought one of my somewhat ill-fated Nintendo Quickies and asked for a story of Midna giving herself a dong and plowing a femboy Link. Or to put that in Zelda terms, she wanted me to write about Midna shoving her Master Sword into Link's Pedestal of Time. ;DDD The thumbnail for this is unfortunately not a full image! I dislike using whichever images I find on Google, and there are obviously no sprites of Midna, so I had my pal WastedTimeEE whip up a quick pic for the occasion. Go and check him out! Writing (C) me Link and Midna (C) Nintendo Written for FA: alexisvelvet

In all the time she'd been (somewhat literally) shadowing the Hylian with the alternate form of the Blue-Eyed Beast, Midna had come to a very amusing conclusion: he was a complete sissy. She was impressed by his tenacity and his talents with a blade were unrivaled, but he was too pretty for his own good and so easily dominated psychologically. She thought of him exclusively as a submissive bitch even in light of his exploits.

As the stars and a three-quarters moon leered down on Link and the small campfire he had made, Midna lurked out of sight but always close by, there if the Hylian needed her - or if she just wanted to tease him. And that was what was coming to mind just then.

"Huh, you know," she said from the flickering length of his shadow, "I have the feeling you must really like being a wolf."

Link glanced over his shoulder, saying nothing, although Midna was used to his silence. She had learned how to read his face and his body language down to the subtlest nuance.

"I mean..." The imp took shape from the shadows, her form small and sneering with darkness clinging largely to her erogenous zones like film. She draped herself across his lap, peering up at his eyes. "You have muscle tone as a fleabag. And," she snickered, rubbing his chin, "an actual endowment."

The Hylian grunted and nudged Midna out of his lap. She let herself become incorporeal, drifting like smoke from the force of his push before solidifying near his resting shield and sword. She nudged the Hylian crest on the shield with her foot and tutted, "Seems like the sword makes the man in this case, huh?" Spinning around on her heel and snaring his submissive blue eyes, she laughed, "Are you blushing? Wow, way to prove me right."

Midna strutted closer, managing to look imposing in spite of her tiny stature and matching gait. "Here's an idea, hero boy." She snapped her fingers, dispelling not only the tunic and chain mail of the hero, but the tenebrous wrapping covering her body. Link didn't notice his own nudity until a second later when he flinched and covered himself - but Midna had already seen. In fact, she had seen his naked body before in clandestine peeks, but she played up her shock when she covered her fanged mouth and gasped, "You really are tiny! No wonder you carry such a long sword. Compensating for something, clearly."

Before Link could squirm away or see that his clothes had merely been placed on the opposite side of the fire, Midna closed in with a burst of teleportation. It was the shock of her sudden closeness that bowled him onto his back, but the imp wasn't splitting hairs about why it happened; she just took advantage of an excellent opportunity.

She pounced him, mashing his small, uncut penis under her loins. Sissy or no, she knew she couldn't keep Link pinned with her body alone, but her powers could subdue him easily. As the Hylian had seen many times before, Midna formed strong, luminescent hands with what seemed to be her hair - hands at the ends of flexible, powerful arms. She forced his shoulder blades into the dirt with her new hands and set about gyrating against him, smearing his groin against her pussylips. The more he squirmed and winced and grew reluctantly hard, the more she pushed against him. She giggled.

"Getting pretty stiff there, huh? I bet you're surprised I can even tell - I gotta admit, it's difficult to notice even for somebody as small as I am." Her natural hands free, she rubbed his effeminate breast in a touch which was surprisingly reverent. She traced her fingers over his thin lines and scars, and tweaked his nipples when they stiffened in arousal. His gasp and the way he arched his spine left her smiling. "I thought only girls liked having their tits played with," she murmured, scooting forward to free up his cock before scooting back to notch it in between her small but plump ass cheeks.

Midna rode Link like so, letting his cock slide in and out of the relatively deep crack of her ass. She held fast on his shoulders with her manifested hands, playing incessantly with his nipples using her real fingers. It seemed from the squirming and utter complacency of the hero that he was not going to last long - so Midna reached back and down with a third extension of her powers. Not an arm, this appendage was more like a noose, and she wrapped it around his cock and balls before tightening it down.

A sharp, startled yelp from the Hylian and a spirited attempt to pull himself up saw Midna push him back down roughly before reaching up to rub his neck. "Shh. Just a little insurance to make sure you don't pop before I do. Good little hero boys like you know the lady comes first, don't you?"

Midna pulled herself up, pushing against Link's shoulders with her manifested hands to do so. As she moved up, she also pushed back, grinding the boy's cock through the crack of her ass. "I bet you'd just squirt in ten seconds if I let you inside of me, wouldn't you?" She shook her head and snickered. "You can save the world, but you can't keep yourself from going off. Kinda pathetic. Does that village girl you're all hot for know what a lame lay you are?"

In what was plainly a surprising maneuver to Link, Midna stepped off of him, letting his shoulders free. His genitals stayed snug in the grip of a luminescent hoop of energy, but otherwise he could move freely. He sat up, frowning and blushing, glaring at the imp.

"You always look so serious, too," she chuckled, giving his cheek a pat. "Why don't you lighten up? Especially since I've got something here I figure a pretty boy like you is gonna lo-o-ove."

Link narrowed his eyes, looking over Midna's body. The fact that she was attractive (small size notwithstanding) was something he wasn't terribly ashamed to admit. It was when his eyes drifted across her loins and he saw that she was no longer strictly female that he gasped and flinched back.

The little imp cackled and lashed out with her glowing hands, grabbing and gripping Link's flanks. She rolled him over, shoving him into the dirt, leaving grass stains on his skin. She surreptitiously shielded his penis from the unkind ground with a third hand, soon dispelled. Over his grunting and squirming and just as she started to mount up, pushing her dense, pale member against the crack of his ass, Midna laughed, "Relax, this won't hurt as much as turning into a wolf does. Well, probably not as much."

She pried apart Link's ass cheeks with her real hands, finding herself appreciating his bubble butt and making a mental note to come back to it again. She stuffed her cock between them with some awkwardness; it was every bit of ten inches and the girth of her thigh. Altering her anatomy like so was worth it just to tease the Hylian, however.

Biting her lip, Midna entered Link's virgin body with careful, necessary slowness. To his wincing, she petted over his flawless behind and whispered, "Rela-a-ax... you'll like this. I hear Hylian history is rich with boy-grooming like this, anyway." She leaned over him, and despite was holding him down with her powers, she made a point of rubbing his back with her hands.

Unused to anal sex and not particularly mindful of Link's well-being, Midna bottomed out in him soon. Although she was moving slowly, she still fully penetrated him in one push; his anus was reddened, swelling slightly, and he lay helpless in the grass with tears in the corners of his eyes. Midna licked her lips and her small fangs hungrily. She was beginning to fuck the Hylian, letting her balls - quite plump to match her oversized cock - smack into Link's cruelly tightened, throbbing coin purse.

"Ooh, that feels nice," Midna breathed, her small breasts bouncing with her quickening bucks against the warrior. She listened to his soft cries of pain, apparently ignoring his plight. "Mmm. You know, if you're really good about this - like if you don't whine too much - I might let you fuck me."

Link peeked at her over his shoulder, eyes wet and flinching shut a bit every time she bucked into him, but there was interest in his gaze. Midna caught it and chuckled. She reached up, stretching slightly to rub his wet cheek. "Mmmhmmm, you heard me right. I mean, hey," she snickered, "you'll only last a few seconds anyway. Not much of an inconvenience to me. And I'm sure I could get you to lick me clean afterward, anyway..."

The short imp rolled back her eyes (even though her broken helm covered one) and sighed, pushing on the middle of Link's back as she arched her own. "Or I could just turn you back into a wolfy, hmm? Fleabag or not, you sure are a heck of a lot more masculine like that." Her rhythm was ratcheting up towards urgency, and although Link was gradually becoming used to that, he found the feeling of her smooth balls spanking his to be almost too much to bear. His sack was painfully tight from the loop around them, pushing the tender nerve endings to the surface and making the flesh throb. His ongoing crying and wincing had more to do with that than the anal sex and even the degradation.

"B-but that's for later," Midna panted, soon grimacing. Her small body quivered and her fat new cock was tingling with weird and unfamiliar pleasures. The imp ground Link into the dirt, abusing his ass with all her deceptive strength. With each beat of her heart, her cock throbbed, widening itself and gouging him further, adding to the pain (and the pleasure, though he was unlikely to admit it).

Midna's sudden cry cut above the rustle of the open pasture. It was a genuine noise of pleasure to match her orgasm, and she shot into the young hero with incredible potency for a creature of her size - but of course her genitals were overlarge on her body anyway. She grinned and blushed as her new nuts dumped themselves into Link, and she leaned low and licked his back with creepy possessiveness.

"That was better than I expected it to be." The imp patted Link's shoulder blades and sighed. "All right, next time you can fuck me." She cooed, just as some relief washed over Link's face, "You're definitely gonna be a doggy when you do, though."

Tight Threads (Hockey Jersey and Hi-Top Sneakers)

While I can possibly only remember about four or five years of the 90s, I do know that they were some of the best years of my life. And I also recall Fubu jerseys and Fila sneakers. *Long drawn out sigh of content of the good ol’ days*

More stuff, like still shots and download links below the cut~

⚠Known Issues: I had to do some adjusting of the UV map so the texture of the shoe won’t bleed on the Sim’s calves. Consequently, with some bottoms worn with these sneakers, the texture or shadow of the bottoms will bleed onto the calves. This is especially noticeable with cropped ankle-length pants and tights and skinny pants. Also, because I was converted these shoes using the feminine body frame, most, if not all, masculine (male) bottoms will have a little gap in the ankle area. Here’s a few pics to show you what I mean:

Shadow bleeding on to skin:

Gap in between calf and ankle (masculine frame bottoms):

This shouldn’t cause any grave problems other than just being kinda unsightly. I have also encountered this with a few CC bottoms as well.

Texas is no stranger to dogs, commonly finding its cities on a variety of America’s top dog-friendly lists. This is partly due to its unique pet-friendly businesses — one which I wish opened a location in my home state — the sprawling 1-acre, off-leash dog park called MUTTS Canine Cantina, with locations in both Dallas and Fort Worth.

The story behind MUTTS Canine Cantina

It was created in 2013 by Kyle Noonan and Josh Sepkowitz, founders of FreeRange Concepts, who wanted to build an urban oasis where pet parents could escape with their four-legged best friends.

“MUTTS is more than your average trip to a community dog park — it’s a life experience,” Kyle says. “MUTTS is a positive and energetic environment where people can escape from the hustle and bustle of life, and relax, have a drink, grab a bite to eat and socialize with other dogs/dog owners.” What makes it so unique? For one, there’s a restaurant and beer garden in the dog park.

What to expect at MUTTS Canine Cantina

You can walk right up to the full bar, which serves craft beer, Barkarita’s and alcoholic popsicles. You’ll also find HDTVs and Adirondack lounge chairs. Or if you’re hungry, try yummy food options like MUTTS Original Chicken Sandwich, burgers, fried pickles (it’s a Southern thing), milkshakes and, of course, a doggie menu for your pup, which includes pupsicles and a doggie dog (bite-sized beef frank). The park part includes two fully enclosed, fenced lawn spaces, one each for small and large dogs. The Dallas location also has agility pieces and courses.

So how do you get a piece of that? Access the park with either a daily, monthly or annual membership. The park has free WiFi (so you can take cute pup pics and upload to Instagram), as well as a dog-washing area. And, I love that it has Bark Rangers who provide water to the dogs and keep the park tidy.

Events at MUTTS Canine Cantina

The MUTTS Canine Cantina hosts a lot of canine-centric events like weekly movie nights, yappy hours and dog birthday pawties. There are some fun annual events, too — the Howl-O-Ween costume contest, Pupsgiving, Santa Paws and pictures with the Easter Bunny.

To see the menu, look at park rules or check out upcoming events, go to MUTTSCantina.com or follow @muttscantina on Instagram or on Facebook @muttscantinadallas or @muttscantinaftworth. Wish there was a location nearer to you? The company is now franchising and looking to open additional locations.

“MUTTS is more than your average trip to a community dog park — it’s a life experience,” Kyle says. “MUTTS is a positive and energetic environment where people can escape from the hustle and bustle of life, and relax, have a drink, grab a bite to eat and socialize with other dogs/dog owners.” What makes it so unique? For one, there’s a restaurant and beer garden in the dog park.

What to expect at MUTTS Canine Cantina

You can walk right up to the full bar, which serves craft beer, Barkarita’s and alcoholic popsicles. You’ll also find HDTVs and Adirondack lounge chairs. Or if you’re hungry, try yummy food options like MUTTS Original Chicken Sandwich, burgers, fried pickles (it’s a Southern thing), milkshakes and, of course, a doggie menu for your pup, which includes pupsicles and a doggie dog (bite-sized beef frank). The park part includes two fully enclosed, fenced lawn spaces, one each for small and large dogs. The Dallas location also has agility pieces and courses.

So how do you get a piece of that? Access the park with either a daily, monthly or annual membership. The park has free WiFi (so you can take cute pup pics and upload to Instagram), as well as a dog-washing area. And, I love that it has Bark Rangers who provide water to the dogs and keep the park tidy.

Events at MUTTS Canine Cantina

The MUTTS Canine Cantina hosts a lot of canine-centric events like weekly movie nights, yappy hours and dog birthday pawties. There are some fun annual events, too — the Howl-O-Ween costume contest, Pupsgiving, Santa Paws and pictures with the Easter Bunny.

To see the menu, look at park rules or check out upcoming events, go to MUTTSCantina.com or follow @muttscantina on Instagram or on Facebook @muttscantinadallas or @muttscantinaftworth. Wish there was a location nearer to you? The company is now franchising and looking to open additional locations.

Texas is no stranger to dogs, commonly finding its cities on a variety of America’s top dog-friendly lists. This is partly due to its unique pet-friendly businesses — one which I wish opened a location in my home state — the sprawling 1-acre, off-leash dog park called MUTTS Canine Cantina, with locations in both Dallas and Fort Worth.
