Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Coconut oil is ok to use but I habe seen better success using a product called Biobalm by Dermoscent, which can be found online quite easily. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
