The Powers of Coconut for your Horses and Puppies.

There are some amazing foods out there. Foods which are not just great for us. But also which are great for our pets as well.

At Huds and Toke we are always looking at new foods to include in our Horse Treats and our Dog Treats.

One such food we are very excited about is the humble Coconut!

Yes…..I know…….it is a beautiful tree…….and yes the mere word conjures up visions in our minds about luxurious tropical island holidays……Ohhhh Tahiti……..Snap out it!!!!

No, this isn’t a holiday dream article…..it is actually about the health benefits of Coconut and how it helps our Horses and dogs. Furthermore, why we at Huds and Toke are using it in many of our training treats.

Coconut has many benefits for our animals both Horses and dogs a-like. Which is why Huds and Toke have just launched a new Coconut, Turmeric and Black Pepper Training Treat.

The varied benefits, which we will get to later, predominantly comes from one main trait of coconut oil. This trait is difficult to say; but try and say this out loud to yourself; Medium Chain Triglycerides.

Yep, that’s right……Medium Chain Triglycerides……but shall we shorten this for ease to MCT’s!
I won’t go into what they exactly are………click the above link for that………it’s a long in-depth explanation, well worth the read.

Remembering for this blogs perspective, we are discussing ingesting Coconut. You can also spread the oil manually over an animal as well.......that's for another discussion!

However, in essence, these MCT’s are responsible for providing powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal agents which helps prevent infection and disease and aids in rehabilitation for unwell animals.
This is so in both Horses as well as dogs…..and even us!

The Antibacterial and antiviral properties comes from the Lauric Acid component; the antifungal properties come from the Capric and caprylic acid component within the MCT.

As wonderful as these are, there are also numerous other benefits.

These include (not limited to):

With Horses:

• Improving Gut Health
  • Can assist with improving ulcers, acidosis, colic and dysbiosis.
• Improves health of the coat.
• Helps with healthy skin
• “Cool” energy source.
  • A great source of energy which is metabolized easily.

With Dogs:

• Helps lose weight.
  • By balancing the thyroid.
• Helps reduce allergic reactions.
• Aids in enhancing the Immune System, Metabolic Function and Bone Health
• Improves coat health.
• Improves healthy skin.

There are really so many other benefits provided by consuming coconut, but these are the main reasons why we like to add it to a large range of our Horse Treats and Dog Treats.

Anything which helps with the internal health of the gut, and thus the overall health of an animal, is a good thing in our eyes.

When you add Coconut with a couple of other special ingredients like Turmeric and Black Pepper, you get an awesome tasting Coconut treat with awesome health qualities.

So when you consider pet treats, don’t forget to consider Huds and Toke. Although our treats are not substitutes for food or supplements, we make them with quality ingredients which provide proven health benefits……..because we care!

Plus they are made right here in Australia.

Have a great weekend.
