If you follow my blog, then you know how spoiled Hunter tends to be.  He is our child with four paws and the delight in our day.  So we treat him pretty well and often joke that his two other brothers in the litter don’t have it as good as he does!

But Hunter, being the Cairn Terrier that he is, is prone to sensitive, dry skin.  Our vet recommended a grain-free diet, but I did some more research on what could help him further.  Turns out, a potential solution was right in my kitchen:

Coconut Oil Dog Treats!

There’s no doubt that coconut oil for dogs is amazing.  It does so many things for us humans, but it’s really good for our furbabies, too.  Especially their coat and skin! So I started adding a drop of coconut oil to Hunter’s morning dish of food and, honestly, we’ve seen a big change. He doesn’t scratch as much and, even though Cairn Terriers are known to have a coarse, wiry coat, Hunter’s fur is pretty soft to the touch!

But coconut oil tends to be a bit messy whether it’s in a liquid or solid state.  So I decided to make it a little easier and turn Hunter’s morning drop into a treat-like form with this coconut oil dog treat recipe.

And because we’ve been introducing Hunter to fresh fruits and vegetables (I can’t even peel a banana in his presence anymore), I decided to make his coconut oil dog biscuits even yummier by adding a frozen blueberry in the middle.

As I said, I give Hunter one of these coconut dog treats per day in his morning dish of food.  He has no problem gobbling it right up along with the rest of his food.

These frozen dog treats can be kept in a baggie in the freezer until you’re ready to serve them.  Just take one out, as needed, and give them to your dog as a treat or in addition to their food.  Hunter absolutely loves ice cubes (I keep joking that I’ll have to buy him bags of ice in the Summer), so popping them right out of the freezer doesn’t bother him at all! He’s a big fan of nearly all frozen treats for dogs!
