We continue to monitor reports and studies on the power of the healing properties of coconut oil (excellent source of Medium Chain Triglycerides and Lauric Acid) for both for humans and animals. We met with the people from K9 Granola at our last pet industry trade show and decided this was a product we needed to offer our customers. We selected K9 Granola for their experience in creating a high grade, organic virgin coconut oil product prepared and packaged in the USA.
