I 100% use coconut oil on my Rico, both internally and topically. It has great benefits for dogs and humans. I use it on his dry nose and rub a small amount throughout his coat, paws, wrinkles and outter ears after his monthly baths and he gets a teaspoon in his food daily. I get the big tub from Costco and get the Kirkland brand. It’s coldpressed, organic and virgin which is all very important to look for in a quality coconut oil.
