Last night my dog was going crazy with red itchy ears. I applied coconut oil to the under side of his ear flaps and inside of ears. Today no itching or scratching. I can’t believe it. I want to shout it from the rooftops to all of the people who are suffering with dogs itchy ears

My Lab has had ear infections on/off for 5yrs. I had him to the vet, used the ear washes, drops, medications. It just occurred to me that I’d been giving both dogs (2 Labs then 1 Lab & 1 terrier) coconut oul in their food at least 1x/wk. I wonder if that contributed to the problem?!? I won’t use it anymore except topically for fleas & any itch relief.

I’m sorry this is so long but I need help desperately! I have done so much research concerning my dog’s, Snoopy, flea infestation and sensitive skin. From pills, a dab of something on the back of the neck, flea collars, frequent baths with flea shampoo, shots from the vet for the skin issue, diet. I am exhausted, frustrated and feel so sorry for my pal! I also did a lot of research about coconut oil and how to apply. As far as how long to leave it on the skin anywhere from leaving it on, leave it on over night, then bathe, leave it on for 8 hours then bathe, leave it on for 5 hours and bathe to leave it on for 5 minutes and bathe. I’m liking this coconut oil idea because it’s natural. Can you help me out, please.

I use coconut oil religiously with my little guy. He gets hot spots frequently and I do everything I can naturally before going to the vet for antibiotics. And most the time I can clear him up I use coconut oil, dried red beets, raw meat diet, NO ADDITIVES ever. I have become a self taught guru for dogs hot spots and allergies lol.

We found our Lab was allergic to coconut oil. We used it in his diet and after eating he would rub his face on the carpet and furniture like he was itchy. We took it out of his diet and it stopped immediately.

My little yorkie dog has chronic ear issues and after many trips to the vet and lots of different treatments we now use a combined approach to management : a prescribed ear cleaner with a topical steriod and after ears are cleaned , a small dab of coconut oil applied to the external flaps and the small bit of the ear canal that is visible plus an anti histamine to control effects of allergies. i use my fingers to gently rub the coconut (organic virgin cold pressed) in and it seems to work well to control the itching and head shaking. Though not a cure it is part of a weekly ear clean management process and smells much better as well.

I used extra virgin coconut oil on my dog for fleas . He was covered up .I shampoo him with his normal tick and flea shampoo. Then I dried him off . I rubbed the oil on my hands and worked it threw his fur. All of a sudden I started seeing a flea here and there pop up to top of his fur. . By the time I got done I had 15 fleas dead I pulled off him ..
