"Glycerin is cheap at feed stores: I don't know why, I don't have a need to frequent feed stores, but a quart goes a long, long way and can be 2 or 4 bucks. Don't pay high prices at craft stores. "

We (farmers) add it to feed to help keep coats glossy, it also gives animals relief from constipation (people too). If added to water tanks, in winter it helps slow down the rate at which the water will freeze. It can be applied to noses, mouths and udders to help with dry skin. It has no harmful effects to the animal if it happens to lick it off. Its also good in rabbits, cats and dogs for dry ears or hairballs.

You can add it with dishsoap to make bubbles for bubble wands.
