Jake’s Mom –

The dosage for coconut oil is 1/2 tsp. per 10 lbs. Although it does have some antibacterial properties, just adding it to food isn’t going to do anything for your dog’s dental health. You could certainly use it as an alternative to toothpaste though on a brush if your dog likes the taste. It’s really the mechanical action of brushing that benefits the dog most, what’s on the brush isn’t as important.
