Question: can you leave coconut oil on your dog's skin?
Answer: Leave your dog in the tub and rub a thick coat of coconut oil all over your dog's furry body. Be sure to spend some time rubbing the coconut oil into dry spots on his skin, his paws, and nails. Leave the coconut oil on your dog's skin and paws for about seven minutes. The longer it stays on, the better it will work.
