5 Reasons You Should be Using Coconut Oil on Your Dog or Cat

At COCOPUP, we know that nature often provides the best solutions—and organic coconut oil is a true multitasker when it comes to pet care. Whether you’ve got a slobbery pup or a finicky feline, here are five reasons you should consider adding coconut oil to their daily routine:


1. Naturally Fights Bacteria

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, a powerful antimicrobial that helps kill harmful bacteria in your pet’s mouth, on their skin, and in their ears—without synthetic ingredients.


2. Improves Oral Health

Dental disease affects over 80% of dogs by age 2. Coconut oil helps break down plaque, freshen breath, and support gum health—and it’s safe to swallow.


3. Moisturizes Skin & Paws

Dry, cracked paws? Itchy skin? Coconut oil acts as a gentle, natural moisturizer that soothes irritated skin and promotes softness without harsh chemicals.


4. Ear Cleaning the Easy Way

The anti-fungal and antibacterial properties of coconut oil make it a safe and effective choice for gently wiping ears—especially for pets prone to yeast buildup.


5. It’s Safe, Simple, and Natural

No weird ingredients. No mystery chemicals. Just one clean, organic oil that’s been used for centuries for its healing and protective benefits—now made easy with COCOPUP Wipes.


Bottom line? If you're looking for a safer, more holistic way to care for your dog or cat, coconut oil is the ultimate MVP.
