Chamomile oil has been linked to supporting skin health.
Coconut Oil is helpful in maintaining healthy and hydrated skin as well as helping with odor control.
Jojoba helps maintain a soft skin and coat as well as supporting moisture to avoid dry skin.
Lavender can also help with soothing skin and maintaining a healthy coat.
Fish oil is heavy in Omega-3 fatty acids, which help keep a dog’s coat shiny and smooth.
Avocado for dogs yields many benefits, including supporting a healthy coat, adds shine, and keeps your pup’s skin moist and healthy.
Aloe Vera can be used to help maintain healthy skin from things like bruises, burns, and minor irritations.

I think the oil has been helping so much with his itchiness and tummy rashes.
It was much simpler to use directly on his food every morning rather than forget to give him the treats throughout the day.
So far it has the same effectiveness for his itching and skin.
Decided to give this a shot and it completely cleared it up !!!
Love it!!
My old dog had suuuuper bad ear wax that smelled horrible and would shake and scratch so violently my walls were covered in blood!

Coconut oil can be given to dogs in pure form, added to the food or as an oral supplement.
Coconut oil can also be made into a topical preparation for skin issues.
Veterinarians typically do not recommend using coconut oil for your dog’s skin because the risk often outweighs the benefits.
Coconut oil is often used to hydrate a dog’s skin, reduce inflammation, and provide both antibacterial and antifungal properties.
However, this remains anecdotal in dogs.
While there are studies in people, there is no scientific evidence supporting the benefits of coconut oil for use on dog skin.
Applying anything to a dog’s skin should be done with caution, as dogs tend to lick themselves often and will ingest the substances.
Coconut oil applied to the skin can also cause an allergic reaction, making any current skin condition or itching worse.
Cold water fish oils provide an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Their propensity to cause stomach upset in dogs is also a lot lower than that of coconut oil.
