Question

Do you recommend feeding dog food that has coconut oil, or is it just a hyped ingredient? Pet's info: Dog | Russell Terrier | Male | unneutered | 16 lbs

Coconut oil seems to be one of those hyped ingredients that will soon be forgotten, there are actually some claims that too much coconut oil can hurt a dog, I would definitely not chose my dog's food based on the presence of coconut oil in it.
