You can use straight coconut oil to help with the coat, either applied to the skin or given orally. However, it should be used in moderation as too much can cause digestive upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. Do also note that pets tend to lick their fur, so any oil applied to the fur and skin may be licked off and part of the amount ingested orally. There isn't any difference in oil as long as you are using 100% pure coconut oil, and not another product that may have additional ingredients added to it.
