Coconut Oil Question

KatelynS07

Where do you buy your coconut oil? I would prefer that it is organic, virgin, etc.

We've been buying it from the grocery store, but have been going through so much of it between the dogs, cats, and our own personal use, that I'd like to start buying it in bulk.

I also get mine from Amazon.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use coconut oil for with the dogs and cats? I'm not familiar with coconut oil, and I'm curious how it is used for pets. Thanks!

I use it for just about everything with our pets. We have 3 cats, one permanent dog, and have recently been fostering pit bulls. With the dogs and cats, I will rub it on their coats if I notice it's dry. For the dogs specifically, I'll mix it with peanut butter and pumpkin and use that to stuff their Kongs. I also feed them dollops of it to add extra weight or if I notice their coats are dull. The dogs get coconut daily and the cats get it weekly. The cats will also eat it off of my finger when I choose to feed it to them that way.

Em- I'll check out New Seasons when I have a chance and see what their prices are like.

 CDMay- I pass through Seattle fairly frequently. I may touch base with you the next time I go through there to see if I could pick some up.

 I will also be checking out Amazon.

Thanks ladies!

I think this is the one i buy (i put it in glass when i get home; i just remember it's a 1-lb black plastic tub/jar), from Marlene's.  I don't use it fast enough to buy more than that.  I know they have it at the Federal Way location (just off I-5, near the Hwy 18 interchange) and i think that the Tacoma one, too, but that's farther out of the way.

I'm just curious what y'all use it for at all.

I just use it for cooking (always in cast iron and sometimes for sauteeing).  It's also great for healing chapped lips and hands.

Thanks! I'll be stopping in Federal Way the next time I go up and will try and pick some up then
