Note: Dogs susceptible to pancreatitis should avoid coconut oil as it can be risky due to its high fat content.
What can I use instead of coconut oil in dog treats?
If your dog has allergies to coconut oil or you prefer not to take the risk, salmon oil is a great alternative. It provides many of the same benefits as coconut oil and is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. Other healthy alternatives include hemp oil, flaxseed oil, and olive oil.
