napfcheck MCT oil is the first MCT oil especially for dogs and cats. The medium-chain fatty acids C8 and C10 it contains are particularly recommended and proven for epileptics and seniors as an alternative energy source for the brain (Berk et al. 2019, 2020; Law et al. 2015; Pan et al. 2010, 2011, 2018). We recommend use in epileptics after consultation with the vet.
