What a beautiful pup, and coconut oil, now thats one I havn't heard of. I'll have to go and visit out organic food shop and see if they stock any. I brought some salmon fish oil capsules yesterday so we will see if thats helps.
Give him some fish. Usually you can find cheap cans of mackeral or salmon at the dollar store, and the dogs love it. With these you get healthy oils as well as soft bone material to help build lean muscle and strong joints. I do rotate mine on and off mackeral, so when the aren't getting fish they get salmon oil over their food.
