It really will soften up the patch and you will smell very tropical as well

I have it too. Tell me how you use it please.

I have been using the Nutiva/Coconut Oil I got from GNC to wipe out Riley's ears.... I have also been occassionally coating his kibble with it, at night.... He seems to really like it....

I finally got my CO! FedEx broke the jars the first time around so they sent me another box and comped me their CO book as well! Gave Uni a 1/4 tsp and she loved it! I also put some on a used-to-be-red spot that is now kind of scabbed over and we'll see how that turns out. I'm so excited!

I'm kinda bummed it doesn't smell more coconutty. Actually, scratch that, it may be a good thing, otherwise I'd be sitting in front of the tv with the jar and a spoon.

I got my CO last week from Tropical Conditions. I gave Betty Boop a bath this weekend and warmed up 1 TB and added it to a quart of warm water and rinsed her. She felt too oily for what I wanted for her and she didn't smell coconut-y. I washed it out and used her regular Isle of Dogs conditioner. I was disappointed that there wasn't a coconut smell. Yes, I had my spoon out and tasted it. GUILTY as charged.

I was disappointed that it didn't have a tropical coconut flavor. Think I'll buy some Nutiva and give it a try.

I have used the Nutiva on Riley, full
force and he didn't smell coconut-y......

I haven't tasted it, yet.... I will do that, when
I get home and give a feedback. LOL!!!!

I use Cocotherapy, and I think it smells really coconuty, but I have a pretty strong sense of smell. After dinner, Rory and Lane's breath both smells like coconut, which is a delight compared to the smell of their fish breath from their salmon oil in the morning.

I think a tablespoon in a quart of water is WAY too much! I used about a half a teaspoon and Sugar GLISTENED

I used almost 1/2t. also and it was just enough, any more and I believe Jada and Bogie would have been grease balls. The nutiva does have a coconut smell, it isn't overpowering but it does smell like coconut. This is the best price I have found.http://www.vitacost.com/productResul...0coconut%20oil Our health food store locally it is about double this price.
