Directions:
Orally
If you want to feed your dogs coconut oil, then make sure to give about ¼ teaspoon for every 22 pounds heavy dog, and give this to them about two times a day. For small dogs, the recommended daily dose would be a teaspoon, then for medium dogs, a dessert spoon per day would be enough. However, before you start this treatment, make sure to consult your veterinarian first to ensure the safety of your fur babies.

Topically
If you want to administer the coconut oil topically, then simply put an ample amount on your hands, and rub it together. Apply the oil on the skin, hair, or wherever there are irritated, itchy, or areas with hair loss, then put on some clothes for your pet to avoid them from licking the oil away, and allow it to sit for at least 5 minutes to let the fleas die. You can do this every day or a few times a week, then make sure to wash their bed and other items to avoid new contamination from occurring.
