You are nuts for coconuts, but is it safe for your pup? Yes! Many owners even add coconut oil to dry dog food. 

Coconut meat is high in lauric acid which helps fight off the flu, yeast infections, ringworm and Giardia. In addition to fighting issues, it also boosts the immune system. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. 

Coconut oil can also be used topically to treat yeast infections, hot spots, flea allergies, and dry skin. 

When you give your pup coconut meat, you will need to remove the outer shell. Dogs will have an extremely difficult time digesting the shell and it can cause internal blockages. 

Dogs should eat a meat based diet. Adding fruit should always be sparingly as a treat.
