  • Yep I have a giant breed (50kg) - really easy to apply the hard oil just softens and turns to oil in your hands when you rub together. It contains Lauric acid which does the job :)

    Loads of info on the net:

    They love the taste too and is really good nutritionally.

    Sack off the horrid chemicals I say!

    Brilliant, thanks Newly, will defo give that a whirl.

    I assume you mean they lick it off their coats and you don't actually feed it, is that right?

    No probs!

    Both lol - I sometimes just put it in their food they go crazy for it (2 cats and a dog). And yes you will get the inevitable licking but work it in good enough and will still be some on body. They love the massage!

    I just kind of share it round the animals haha - a tablespoon, maybe more, and just massage into the cats and dog. The cats are relatively easy to do too even though one really hates being handled, as they are loving this wonderful smell lol. I think if their hair starts to resemble Elvis' though, I may have put too much on :rotfl:
