• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 cup Oatmeal, Optional
• 2 Tbsp Flax Seed, Optional
Preparation Steps
1. Microwave coconut oil to soften if needed.

Notes
Yield: depends on size of ice cube trays

It improves overall skin and coat health (it moisturizes and reduces itchiness due to allergies or eczema), but it’s also been linked to preventing diabetes and heart disease. 

*Start with about 1/4 dose of coconut oil and gradually increase over the course of several weeks so your pup can get acclimated if needed by decreasing coconut oil in recipe.
