It’s fireworks season which can trigger dogs who are noise sensitive.

Although different oils work for different dogs there are some known for helping with noise reactivity and fear especially frankincense - which helps distant the mind from fears and worries.

If you choose to offer your dog an essential oil there are some basic ground rules:
- use a high quality organic essential oil - cheaper ones can be synthetic and won’t work
- don’t just offer it when there are fireworks. The dog will then associate the oil with the fireworks
- offer the oil slowly. Essential oils are volatile molecules and dogs noses are very sensitive. Let them sniff near the closed bottle first.
- NEVER force it on the dog
- Ensure the dog can get away if it wants to and has access to water.

Noise fears are triggered by many things and the best way to help your dog overcome those is a full assessment and treatment plan.

I’d like to share Maple’s story with you to show the difference botanical self healing can have on a very traumatised dog.

Photo 1 is her before the treatment and photo 2 after. Her face is less tense, her ears more relaxed and she looks happy not anxious and worried!

Maple is a Romanian rescue. She was born and lived on the streets and had a really tough time, she was found beaten. She had had a litter of pups at only 6 months old!!

She was in kennels in Romania at first, which is not a nice experience for any dog, dogs in there fought over food and she was hiding at the back.

Her first uk foster home had a baby after having her 18 months and decided they couldn’t keep her. So she ended up in another foster in a high rise flat.

Then my client rescued her. The family love her but she was hard to live with. For weeks she was called “no dog” as all she did was hide under a bed. She wouldn’t go out on a walk, she was scared of everything, even the garden. She froze at the sight of a man of a car if out and was urinating in the house in fear and the family were struggling.

Then they heard about botanical self healing and choose to give it a go.

Maple’s story and assessment was a sad situation I cried reading it. This poor dog was in such a bad way emotionally and spiritually. But I knew botanical self healing could help her.

She was out of balance in 14 out of 16 meridians.

When I went to see her they had to shut the bedroom door so she didn’t hide!

But she reacted well to the oils given her situation.

Roll on 2 months and my client has been working with the oils and noticed many changes:
- Her tail is always up now, before it was always down
- She comes out from under the bed in the day by her own choice
- They’ve been able to have a family walk in the park with her
- Her coat is softer
- she is in balance in 15/16 meridians 😁

Below are the before and after photos. Such a difference in her face.

I have happy tears now for the difference it has made to her and the rest of her life.

Summer showing you another way dogs interact with the oils.

You can see lots of fast sniffing, staring at the oil. The quick look round is her glancing at the part of her body that needs it.

An interaction with the oil can be over as quickly as this.

After this she settled to process.

21/03/2023

What might you see when your dog is working with a selected oil?
- initial sniff - might be one quick sniff, a long sniff or they may stand or lie inhaling the scent
- a trance like state for a few seconds or longer
- slow blinking and eye movement
- settling down and resting (but not sleeping)
- deep and slow breathing
- walking away and lying down calmly

All of the above are signs the dogs is processsing, taking the scent into their body and sending it where it is needed to heal. This might be over quickly or they may work with it for several minutes. They will tell you when they have had enough.

Here is Fudgr demonstrating how your dog might work with an oil. Notice the eye movement, the looking at me and then at the oil.

I’m often asked if the essential oil treatment is needed on going for the animal.
The good news is no.

The treatment is specifically formulated to address specific issues and once those are addressed the animal shouldn’t need them for that issue again.

Some issues will be a quick fix and some will talk longer.

Summer is a great example of this. She hasn’t worked with essential oils this year. She has been to stay with family and our dog sitter and been her happy cheeky self there and when she came home. She has moved on from that shut down dog and forgotten she was even like that!

Gypsy demonstrating an “I want this oil” reaction!

Watch for the nose butts! She was demanding it!

25/02/2023

Self selection time for Gypsy this morning!
She has a choice of:
Barley grass
Dandelion root
Milk thistle
Hawthorn berry
Devils claw
Liquorice root
seaweed
Rosehip shells
Spirulina

So far she’s gone for:
Spirulina
Rosehip
Barley grass
Dandelion root

Look at her face 😂

One of our clients is very excited by his oil delivery ready for his session tomorrow!

Here is Gypsy giving a great example of reactions to the oils. Her nose is going, then her eyes are twitching and then she settles but doesn’t close her eyes and they are still flickering.

After doing a meridian balance assessment, we selected Neroli hydrosol, carrot seed oil and basil essential oil in h**p oil.

Gypsy always has a reaction to neroli, it helped her with grief after Loki. She often looks at me and I feel a deep emotional connection with her.

She wanted neroli and carrot seed together.

Got to try my new mini label printer tonight when leaving supplies for tonight’s client 😁

The power of linden blossom. Fudge is scared of men and last year was snappy towards my dad. This year with some lindon blossom on a bandana she went straight up to him for cuddles

Remember Christmas is a stressful time for your pets. Normal routines are out the window, visitors, new things in the house can all be stressful for your pets. And all the food that is bad for them!

Make sure there is time for them to do thing they enjoy and relax.

And if you do self selection make some time for that with them.

Have a lovely Christmas with your pets!

Lovely evening working with this beautiful girl! These photos show her settling to work with carrot seed oil ☺️

11/12/2022

These 2 are working with lemon this morning. You can see they are both relaxed but awake, there’s been slow blinking, slowe breathing and lots of nose twitching.

Lemon is good for hyper alert animals which is why I picked it for these 2. Fudge especially has been a bit on edge since our new arrival so I’m trying to settle her back down.

I generally don’t work with dogs together but my own are used to it and have freedom to come and go so I let them work if they want too.

This poor little dog is in a foster home having come from a puppy farm.
This is her before and after her first essential oil treatment. What a difference!

05/12/2022

Had a lovely day on Saturday treating some dogs, all with a range of different needs. Lovely feedback and great to to hear the treatment has “transformed” a very scared rescue and helped her start to decompress in her foster home!

24/11/2022

This is Summer last night. 12 days since her first botanical session, we’ve done 6 sessions in that time.

She didn’t know what a dog toy was when we got her. She loves a squeaky toy and will retrieve a thrown toy now!

It looks like a quick change but it’s quite intensive treatment. I’m now leaving it a few days between sessions to give her time to process.

Her favourite at the moment is Violet Leaf essential oil diluted in h**p oil.
Plus she’s taken some ylang ylang in h**p oil. She’s gone off Angelica Root now.

This is the magic of botanical self healing, the animal chooses how much of what they need and once it’s done it’s job they go off it!

15/11/2022

This morning Summer wanted to lick her selection from my hand. She had violet leaf diluted in h**p oil.
She had selected Violet leaf yesterday and choose the carrier oil too.
This is huge because she doesn’t know hands, unlike lots of puppies she didn’t learn hands feed you. so choosing to lick is a huge step for her.

Then she choose ylang ylang in h**p oil. She didn’t want to ingest this, she wanted to inhale.

Violet leaf is really good for dogs who have moved a lot and have fear.
Ylang ylang is really good for self confidence and self worth.
H**p is good for anxiety and coat and skin

13/11/2022

The first picture is summer a few days ago. The second in our house tonight!
She has 2 sessions. One yesterday and one today when she got back to ours!
Look at the difference in her eyes and ears!

These pictures help show the power of essential oils!

So Summer the rescue Collie I went to see has come to live here.
After a bath (due to being sick in the car), eating her first rabbit ear (slowly as she’s obviously never had one before) and being freaked out by the tv, she is working with some violet leaf essential oil.

12/11/2022

Today I went to see this lovely 10 month old collie, she’s in foster at the moment and very shut down.
She was so brave and interacted with the herbs and oils, and wanted strokes and cuddles from me 🥰
By the end was was brave enough to walk around the room and take treats!

08/11/2022

Fudge is checking out the delivery of new oils!

06/11/2022

Fudge is keen to do self selection. I was organising my kit and she was straight in there to find something she wanted. We’ve settled on Jasmine.

05/11/2022

Some self selection today for our dogs.
They all get the free choice to join in or not.
In a world where we control so much for our dogs giving them freedom to make choices is so important.
